Yes you can place a white rectangle over the existing chord (using the fill tool) and then enter the new chord using the text tool.
Where the rectangle is similar size to the text you are entering, it is much easier to just use the text tool with the fill set to white (no need to try and align a rectangle).
If necessary, add spaces to front or back of the text to pad out the "fill area".
Having reread your post, I'm wondering if you intending changing notes (you mentioned chords so I initially took it to mean text e.g. Cdim7).
Yes, you can use a white rectangle to erase an area but unless you are only changing a few notes, this will be very time consuming and fiddly (hint: zoom the area that you are working on before editing).
Another alternative is that you use one of the free online tools that can generate music from a string of text e.g ABC (see https://abcnotation.com/)
This will be more work initially but will probably lead to better results.
