Was self-modifying-code possible using BASIC?

Parameters:

• On commonly affordable home-computers before 1984
• Code that changes its own instructions while it is executing
• Using BASIC only
• Not using peek, poke or assembly language

Possible types of solutions:

Were there any machines on which the following theoretical example program might work?

10 Let Line 20 = Print "word"
20 Print "nothing"

Or just:

10 Let Line 10 = Print "word"

Or the following pseudo-code?

10 Print "10 Print "word"" + [ A special carriage-return that makes the computer accept this as the new 'Line 10' ]

In the example above, if you print the new line 10 to the screen, is there any special carriage-return that makes the computer accept this as the new 'Line 10'?

Note:

• If you did get the computer to modify a line, and you modified the line to be longer than it originally was, could it unknowingly overwrite part of the following line? Outside of program execution mode if you modify a line to be longer than it was, the computer knows how to shift data forward.

I would probably have to ask a separate question to ask:

• How was self-modifying-code used to save space?
• Were there any other interesting uses for self-modifying code that would have been possible on the machines specified in this question?
• Could you somehow set a data file as the new current program?
• How many programs or data files could be held at one time?
