Sure you can. (But it is a significant problem that they start at the bottom of the score-based answer sort and don’t get attention.)

This is why you give the updated answer as a comment under the top answer, with a casual "shouldnt we do xyz in [anno domini NOW] instead". Then some established answerer takes what you just said, edits it into the top answer, and steals all credit. But hey, at least you got the answer to be updated, not in your words, and no trace of your input into it. But still updated, right?
I'm not pouring one out for SO's death. Because I already did years ago.
