No, you can't change that. That is inherent to the engineering of the system on that vehicle.

Without being able to feel the pedal, I can't say if it's normal for that vehicle or not...With most Hondas, their pedals are usually pretty easy to depress since it's a hydraulic set up

If there is a problem in the clutch assembly, like the pressure plate going bad, this can cause more pressure being needed to push the pedal down....

If the pedal has always felt like this, then like HT said, it just design of the system. If this is something that has been slowing getting worse, then it's probably a sign that you are going to be needing a new clutch assembly soon...

Hmmm? Either normal for the vehicle or possible that pressure plate is more aggressive than another as Sidom suggested. Not so much with a hydraulic linkage but as a clutch wears the angle of the fingers on pressure plate do increase pressure required but doubt you'd notice that,
