The short answer is, if you have access to the source code for your node, you can make it do whatever you want.

Most users use dynamic_reconfigure for changing parameters at run time. If you create a dynamic_reconfigure parameter for your publishing rate, you can use the dynamic reconfigure gui to change it while the node is running.
