Yes, you can modify the noupdate file with hook. In the manifest file next to the data add'post_init_hook': 'post_init_hook',
create hooks.py file
def post_init_hook(cr, registry):
env = api.Environment(cr, SUPERUSER_ID, {})
orginalxml=env.ref('module.external id')
orginalxml.write({'field_name_to_inherit':value,
})
