An app can do anything that the kernel permits it to. A crash is, pretty much by definition, a sign that the app is going wild. It's confused. It's doing stuff it wasn't intended to do. It may be sending arbitrary messages to arbitrary objects or the like. It may be executing data as though it were code. All of that said, it would be fairly surprising if the app had the NIB already open for writing, making it fairly unlikely that it would modify it. And if the user account doesn't have write permission to the app bundle, then the kernel won't allow it, no matter what an out-of-control app might try to do.
