This is for Canada, but I'm pretty sure the same would apply in the US. The short answer is no, because most employers will have an exclusivity clause in your contract that means you cannot work for another employer while you are with them, and you are still under contract while you are on disability.
You can probably quit your job while on disability and not be adversely affected, but I would definitely suggest reading your contract before doing this to make sure your employer won't be trying to recoup the disability payments. You might also find that your employer would terminate your disability if you gave notice, although I'm not sure of the legal background to this (employment law is very vague in Canada).

Can employer change your position during the time you are on st disability?
Yes, he could do that.
Can you be fired while on disability?
As far as I know, when you are on disability your are to return to your employer with either the same or similar position. They can give away your position, but you are allowed back onto the job with a similar or same position. For example, you stock shelves in a store in Dept A. making $$ an hour. You go on disability and they put another person in your spot. When you return to work after being on disability your employer is obligated to have you stock shelves as before at $$ per hour, but it may be in a Dept B. I hope that makes sense. I would fill out the FMLA form because that protects you.

After the note has been signed and approved, you don't have a whole lot of leverage. It may be too late to do anything about it - but - it wopuldn't hurt to talk to the lender and ask that certain facts not be disclosed to your employer.

In Canada the Employer can give your position to someone else for the time you are away, but must give you that position back when you return. However, if you are on and off Worker's Compensation then your Employer has a right to give you another position which you can handle with the condition you have.

Can an employer force a position on you that you are not capable of?
No, you always have the option of quitting (and it would probably be considered involuntary termination for unemployment purposes). But, can an employer decide your precise job responsibilities are no longer needed, and instead offer you a different position that you don't like (or even physically cannot do)? Almost certainly, unless there's something in your employment agreement that explicitly forbids it.
