self-modifying hardware?

Is self-modifying hardware possible? like a step-below microcode that is... a way to actually reconfigure it's own logic gates and such?
edit:
Well, that doesn't tell much.. lol
Anyway, my question is that if you had a computer add-on card of some sort intended as a co-processor... could the computer load information into that co-processor such that the computer has raw control over the co-processor hardware, such that the co-processor could be programmed to act as just about any logic circuit (within reason of the actual hardware)
