I look at this question as parallel to the question "On a path, can the
options in an IP header be added/removed/updated/reordered?"

And the answer to that is that in general, IP options aren't intended to
be modified in transit.  But there are some headers (such as Source
Route) that are *intended* to be modified in transit.  And some transit
devices are intended to modify IP options.  It depends on the specifics
of the situation, and the options involved.
