OK, the capacitance does change with the amount of reverse voltage on the
diode and there are specific diodes that exploit this effect, but in the
original question he is asking if he can use a 1N4006 in place of a 1N4001
where the reverse voltage shouldn't go above the rating for the 1N4001.  In
this case there shouldn't be any change as all the other characteristics of
the diode are the same.
