You can do anything that you'd expect to do with a standard laptop;
install any operating system, and flash a new BIOS.

You're safe no matter what you do to the NAND, because the firmware can
flash a new NAND image from USB. If you want to be sure of not bricking
it, you should avoid flashing firmware that isn't signed by OLPC.
