Q: Is it possible to modify baseline content?

As a baseline is promoted from the lower promotion level to the higher one (from Initial to Built to Tested to Released) can its content be changed? Is it possible to replace a.c,v1 with a.c,v2 within a context of the same baseline?

A: No. Baseline is not modifiable.

Streams models

Project with a mainline project stream vs
Cascading project design (project without a mainline project stream).
 
Advantage: Cascading design allows to come back to the released project and continue to develop and bug fix on it.
 
Advantage: Mainline project design keeps latest and greatest versions of project line in one place - each project final recommended baselines are available in the mainline project's integration stream.
Disadvantage: how do you maintain (bug fix) field bugs after release gate?
