You can't compare phenotype and genotype in this manner. Just like you can't play an instrument you don't have, you can't express genes that aren't in your genotype. Epigenetics will basically modify what genes are expressed. It will get you from phenotype A to phenotype B if you will, but saying it is "different from your genotype" doesn't make sense. All your possible phenotypes are contained in your genotype.
