You can change the music that plays in the different parts of the game?
If you know what you're doing, yes.
What is to stop you from changing the graphics, then?
Depends on the graphics you want to change and how you want to change them.
and (newbish question here...) what's a hex editor? My guess is it is what you use to edit the mpq's.
MPQ editors are a bit different from hex editors. Think of MPQs as gigantic ZIP files. Blizz uses MPQs to bundle their data all in one file. This minimizes the number of "loose" files sitting around on the hard drive (or on the CD). So, a MPQ viewer/editor is a program specifically designed to peek into (and sometimes alter) the files within a MPQ.
A hex editor is a whole different ballgame. They open files and display their hexidecimal innards. In D1 modding context, hex editors are normally used to edit the exe or dlls.
