The oils are probably not interchangeable on any dish. They have very different tastes...

Coconut oil is much higher in saturated fats than olive oil. So much higher that it's melting temperature is only76F. Whereas, olive oil has so few saturated fats, that it's melting point is only 21F, lower than that of water.

Being a plant oil, there is no cholesterol, but the high saturated fat content makes it a not so inviting oil to use for regular cooking. If there is a special dish that requires the oil, and it's flavor, I would use it, but not in regular cooking.
