Yes you probably could, but there IS the issue of compatability. I've had it numerous times with my, now highly spec'd, Windows 7 desktop.

pretty sure you can change MOST of it. Say with my Macbook:

To change harddrive: Remove battery (twist penny-lock and remove)
Unscrew metal plates from around the inside (4 screws)
Pull harddrive out, push new one in
Change RAM: same, but just use the black clicky things to remove the RAM sticks.
