Perhaps you could tell us what problem you're trying to solve.

You can replace the parsing modules (llex.c, lparser.c, lcode.c) but
you'll need to understand how they work. If you want to use different
tokens but the same abstract syntax, then you can replace llex.c,
which is not hard to do (and you can probably reuse many bits in llex.c).

If you don't want to fiddle with the internals of Lua, try metalua and 
luasub for instance.
