Only if you "jailbreak" the device.  People publish guides, where they find
an exploit to get root from the iOS kernel and make a simple procedure for
other people to do the same.  It will only work until a new software release
is pushed out, and then you have to find a new way to do it again.  Apple
says it's illegal, other  people who want to jailbreak the phones say it's
not illegal.  Both sides are biased, it's never been tested in court.
