Yes and no. No, you can't just import a bitstream to an existing
item... but yes, you can export the item, swap out the bitstream, and
re-import it with the same handle.

This blog post may help you do it:

CAVEAT: don't try this with nested HTML items; the export will fail.
If that's what you need to do, let me know and I'll try to post
instructions, because that gets really complicated.
