Is it possible just to mod an existing gba rom, just for personal use. I've never tried doing console games, but I've modded pc games. Can you guys post some links.

Is there a way just to change the sprites or music?

Changing the music is hard (it can be stored in all sorts of formats, most of which are variable-length), but changing the sprites can be easy if they're not compressed. Download a tile editor that supports GBA format tiles; one is called "8TED" and is available here.
