Well, sure.

Start off by aquiring the Windows XP source code from Microsoft. 
There are several (legal) ways to do this, most include ridiculous large sums 
of money or political pressure from your government.

If you happen to work at an university doing research MS is interested in, you 
might also have luck and they already have the source.

Then start patching the source + recompile XP. Good luck.

It might be faster and cheaper to just wait for the next generation of 
Intel/AMD CPUs with hardware virtualization support, with those you won't 
need a modified Guest OS.
