Is it possible to hack into the dictionary to either add words or stop certain auto-corrections?
 
I think if you go to settings and keyboard (I could be off here) you can edit the dictionary in iOS 4.

No. But Address Book entries are registered in the dictionary. So you could, for example, make an entry called firstname: WinterBoard lastname: MobileSubstrate company: Cydia and it would auto-correct (with mixed caps!) all of those words. Like my phone just did. ;)

It was in the betas, but the feature was removed afaik.

No, it's still available. If you enable the Japanese keyboard, that is. ;)
