ROLES 2007
Hi,
Can any body let me know whether we can change the Roles on the servers after they are assigned the roles at the time of Implementation, otherwise it will be like old NT4 servers where we have to assign the role at the installation only and later on they cant be promoted.

Are you talking about FSMO or E2k7 roles. I guess E2k7 roles:
Log on to the server from which you want to remove Exchange Server 2007.
Open Control Panel and then double-click Add or Remove Programs.
On the Change or Remove Programs page, select Microsoft Exchange Server, and then click Remove.
Note:
If you click Change instead of Remove, you can add server roles, but you cannot remove server roles.
In the Exchange Server 2007 Setup wizard, on the Exchange Maintenance Mode page, click Next.
On the Server Role Selection page, clear the check boxes for the server roles that you want to remove, and then click Next.
Note:
By default, all server roles are selected. This indicates that no server roles will be removed. To remove a server role, you must clear the appropriate check box.
On the Readiness Checks page, after the check completes, click Uninstall.
On the Completion page, click Finish.

Yes the exchange 2007 server roles can be changed but different steps and considerations are involved when moving each server role.
Have a look at this link (It has links for each roles)--
