From purely a question of law, yes, there is no religious bar to the office of Prime Minister of the UK.
From a question of societal pressures and how Britons would feel about a Muslim coming to power as a Prime Minister, there are likely to be more obstacles. There would be two main arguments: the first would be how a member from a minority group could be expected to represent the will and views of the majority culture and the second would be a question of ideological loyalties. The first argument is an attempt to mask the cultural issues brought up in the second.

When is the prime minister of England replaced?
Firstly, England doesn't have its own Prime Minister. The current Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, is Prime Minister of all of the UK, not just England. Prime Ministers are replaced if the existing Prime Minister resigns or is otherwise unable to continue to do the job. When there is a General Election - which there will be no later than June 2010 - then the same Prime Minister could be voted back in or could lose out to another political party who will have their own Prime Minister designate. This will probably be David Cameron.
