If the firmware is replaceable then it is possible to put in a
different image; you can't just pick any old image though. It would
have to be one designed for the device you have (the hardware in
embedded systems like mp3 players is incredibly varied so the software
is rarely interchangeable). Rockbox is software that has been ported
to a range of audio players but yours doesn't appear on the list.
