Can fonts be replaced on my kindle? Paperwhite 7th

Usually reads books in .MOBI format
I already know that I can read them in .Azw3 format and I can modify and install fonts to my liking. But what I want to do is different.
Is there a way to modify the default Kindle fonts? That is, replace the "Open Dislexy" font with some other font or even edit it?
I DO NOT WANT TO MODIFY THE FONTS WITHIN THE .MOBI FILE.
I WANT TO MODIFY THE SOURCES THAT ARE INSIDE THE KINDLE BY DEFAULT.

First: stop shouting.

Second: Not without a JailBreak. After that, that's essentially what the Font Hack does. Although it may or may not behave entirely properly on FW where custom fonts are "officially" supported.

Given how important you think fonts are, STOP READING MOBI AND READ KF8!
