No. You could always convert from MOBI to EPUB, edit the EPUB, and then convert back to MOBI. But the EPUB won't work with a straight HTML editor so you'd have to have an understanding of the raw XML.
Actually, epub files are just zip archives with some xml for things like the table of contents but the book files themselves are html. Just rename the extension from epub to zip, extract, and you will see you can simply open the html content files in any editor. Make your changes, save, rezip and rename back to epub. the xml parts are pretty straightforward themselves, they will allow you set restructure the toc, change the metadata and add or delete html files.
