It is, the whole metadata is basically what you can see here: http://openspending.org/ribeiraopreto-budget-2011/model.json - you can manipulate it and POST it back to several sub-URLs. Maybe you can tell me the specific thing you're doing though and we can work out the best way - if you want to do this for 600 municipalities, it may even make sense to load them into a single dataset (sao paulo) so you can aggregate (e.g. all school spending in the state). This only works if they adhere to a common schema, of course.
