This depends on the computer chips in question. If they are surface mounted chips, no. But if they are socketed or soldered through the board, they can be replaced.

The CPU and the RAM are "computer chips," and replacing them is fairly simple. However, you would not be able to replace the chipset chips, and even if you could get them off without damaging the motherboard, finding replacements might be a bit difficult, and installing the new ones would be impossible for the average home hobbyist.
