NEEDS to be shot in RAW on camera - as this is the raw data the camera receives from the optics - only gets converted and compressed to jpeg's later on - and the RAW data can't be retrieved.

Pretty much well summed up! Otherwise...JPG would also technically be RAW if you could change it after the shot!

Once the shutter is fired and the scene recorded you can't change from one format to another.
