I belive that following expression is unique solution of riddle :

$2^6-63=1$

(By request...)

If we can move one "character", then moving the horizontal line over gives $62 = 63 - 1$

+1, this answer needs a better question! –  Arjang Jan 27 '12 at 20:20

$6263 \neq 1$.

I moved one character not a digit :)
