Graphviz can produce output in many formats - many of those are bitmaps 
and naturally very difficult to change once generated. You may be able 
to do tricks with HREF/click maps and links to different static images 
(graphviz can produce clickmaps).

The only format I can think of is SVG, and we do something similar using 
javascript to manipulate the SVG generated by graphviz.

There may be specialized viewers that allow you to do other types of 
manipulations. The ZgrViewer for instance gives you lenses, follow links 
and some other features.
