Yes, you can modify the source to the console driver to do something
else.  Be aware that this feature was added to keep none-too-bright
users from deciding that since C-A-D didn't work, the machine must be
hung and they could just turn it off or hit the reset button.

Yes.  See the X configuration documentation.
