I created a conda environment with Python version 3.8, but it doesn't support matplotlib... So I am looking for something like this to change the Python version: conda env my_env update to python=3.6. Is this possible or do I need to recreate the environment?
I have miniconda installed.

Anaconda uses a default environment named base and you cannot create a new (e.g. python 3.6) environment with the same name. This is intentional. If you want your base Anaconda to be python 3.6, the right way to do this is to install Anaconda for python 3.6.
This can be installed via conda with the command conda install -c anaconda python=3.7 as per https://anaconda.org/anaconda/python. Though not all packages support 3.7 yet, running conda update --all may resolve some dependency failures.
Activate the relevant environment, then install your target python version.
conda activate my_env
conda install python=3.6
Adding to the answer above
conda activate my_env
conda uninstall python
conda install python=x.x
