Yes.

You can. But:

"# Manual customization of this file is not recommended."

So be sure you do fully understand what you are doing. Read very
carefully the www.netfilter.org documentation about netfilter/iptables.

If you do something wrong in the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file the whole
service will not start any more, besides the risk you open up wholes in
the wall.

From "anything"? No, certainly not.
