I'm sure it's safe to replace a 1W Luxeon with a Luxeon III. However, without knowing exactly what light you are referring to modding I can't say whether it's just a matter of unsoldering and resoldering, but that is the basic idea. Make sure that you the new star is properly heatsinked and centred, and that you get the polarity right and you should be fine.

It'd be better if you could post more information about the light you are modding just to make sure.
