Generally no, arthropods can't change their gross external morphology, owing to a rigid exoskeleton. Because of jointed limbs and segmented body they do have limited ability for flexion and extension useful for locomotion and defence (for instance, the woodlouse can roll into a ball). They are compelled to moult in order to increase in size, and many are able to regrow lost limbs through a regeneration process.
