Well, yes. An internal data structure is built when
reading the MIB files and that data structure later
allows you to access any information present in the
MIB file. See the MibLoader and Mib classes in the
net.percederberg.mibble package (in the API docs)
for starting points.

However, the data structure built will only allow
you to get information. There are no set() methods,
so if you wish to manipulate the values you have to
build your own data structures to store your changes.
Of course, Mibble comes with full source code, so you
can add and remove anything you like (but please
check the license before distributing any results).

Cheers,
