SOLUTIONS

You can override the getUrl() method in the class Mage_Catalog_Model_Layer_Filter_Item, path /app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Layer/Filter/Item.php

Then, locate the function at line 57, it will look like this:

public function getUrl()
 {
        $query = array(
        $this->getFilter()->getRequestVar()=>$this->getValue(),
Mage::getBlockSingleton('page/html_pager')->getPageVarName() => null // exclude current page from urls);
return Mage::getUrl('*/*/*', array('_current'=>true, '_use_rewrite'=>true, '_query'=>$query));
  }

In file config.xml of your custom module, rewrite class Mage_Catalog_Model_Layer_Filter_Item:

<models>
            ....
            <catalog>
    <layer_filter_item>Namespace_Module_Model_Catalog_Layer_Filter_Item</layer_filter_item>
<catalog>
....
</models>

Overriding function getUrl() of class Mage_Catalog_Model_Layer_Filter_Item in class Namespace_Module_Model_Catalog_Layer_Filter_Item
Example with category:

public function getUrl()
{
    if($this->getFilter()->getRequestVar() == "cat"){ // or �color’, �price’,...
        $category_url = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($this->getValue())->getUrl();
        $return = $category_url;
        $request = Mage::getUrl('*/*/*', array('_current'=>true, '_use_rewrite'=>true));
        if(strpos($request,'?') !== false ){
            $query_string = substr($request,strpos($request,'?'));
        }
        else{
            $query_string = '';
        }
        if(!empty($query_string)){
            $return .= $query_string;
        }
        return $return;
    }
    else{
        $query = array(
            $this->getFilter()->getRequestVar()=>$this->getValue(),
            Mage::getBlockSingleton('page/html_pager')->getPageVarName() => null // exclude current page from urls
        );

        return Mage::getUrl('*/*/*', array('_current'=>true, '_use_rewrite'=>true, '_query'=>$query));
    }
}
