Yes and no.
Yes, because you can dump the bytecode to a string and manipulate it
with string.unpack and string.pack. Luiz's lbci library
http://webserver2.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~lhf/ftp/lua/5.3/lbci.tar.gz
makes the task easier.
No, because the information about bytecode structure is not officially
documented outside the Lua source. Luiz's library is authoritative, of
course, but not official.
