Is it legal to use the ultimate campaign retraining rules to retrain a feat to fey foundling after level 1?
Some of the options . . . involve retraining features of your character that are essentially permanent parts of your heritage, such as a sorcerer's bloodline. The cost of retraining these things presumably includes magical or alchemical alterations to your body. The GM might rule that these changes are unavailable in the campaign, are only available under rare circumstances, take longer, are temporary, require some sort of quest, or are more expensive than the listed cost. . . .
As with all things optional, the answer is a definitive maybe. Check with your DM.
(Mechanically yes. But your DM may overrule this, which may make sense for the specific campaign. In the future, have background options written it into your back story, just not necessarily taken, and then retraining becomes more acceptable.) Good luck.

Given all the other things that you can retrain, I don't see a problem rules-wise in regard to training in or out of the Fey Foundling feat. As a DM, I would probably let a player take that feat as long as he has not established a backstory that contradicts the implied background of that feat.
Retraining away from that feat is even easier to explain -- the character has spent enough time away from the First World that it no longer has a noticeable effect on him.

I should have clarified, the question is for society play, so it is rules as written. My opinion is no, but I wanted others opinions.
For PFS, you have to qualify for the feat at the time of retraining. The earliest that you have to "pay" to retrain is level 2 (you can do it for free as a level 1). Hence, you could not retrain a feat to Fey Foundling because you are no longer level 1.
This is per Mike Brock, albeit paraphrased.
