The orbital elements $\omega$, $i$ and $\Omega$ are Euler angles in the sequence $(3, 1, 3)$.
The easiest way to transform them is to convert them to a representation that's easier to manipulate, e.g. unit quaternions or a matrix, apply the required transformation then convert back to Euler angles.
A useful guide to converting between the systems is given by ...

You could convert the orbital elements into x,y,z and $ \dot{x}, \dot{y}, \dot{z}$ and then calculate a whole orbit. A source for converting orbital elements into cartesian coordinates is here.
