It's a near certainty that you can flash the bios.
The questions you should ask yourself are:
Have I located the proper new bios for my particular motherboard?
Do I know how to do it?
Why am I doing this?
If it goes wrong, you are in big trouble. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one OS Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit CPU Intel Sandy Bridge i5-2500, not overclocked Motherboard Gigabyte H67A-UD3H-B3, full ATX Memory 4 GB Crucial DDR3-1333 Graphics Card none; graphics are integrated on CPU Sound Card onboard: Realtek ALC892; external: USB Behringer UF0-202 Monitor(s) Displays NEC 90GX2-BK 19" LCD Screen Resolution 800 x 640 Keyboard Leopold Tenkeyless with Cherry Blue switches, USB Mouse Logitech or Microsoft optical wired; either USB or PS 2 PSU Seasonic SS-560KM, modular Case Antec Solo II Cooling CPU: Scythe Big Shuriken; Case: Scythe Slipstream 800 & 500 Hard Drives System: Intel 320 Series SSD, 80 GB;

If it goes wrong, you are in big trouble. Have to research for it, and since the stock bios dosn't have the option for overclocking, i think i can give it a try | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number لو تنثر أحلامي, بž OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3.0Ghz Motherboard Intel DG43NB Memory 4GB OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 Gold GX XTC Dual Channel Graphics Card XFX GeForce 8800GT 512MB Alpha Dog Edition Sound Card Realtek HD Monitor(s) Displays LG Flatron M237WA Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard Manhattan Mouse Logitech PSU Gigabyte Case Thermaltake Cooling Intel Stock Hard Drives 500GB WD5000AAKS 7200RPM, 1TB WD10EARS 5400RPM Internet Speed 8192 kb/s / 509kb/s |

Whoa!!!
It's an Intel board.
You can't put the bios of your choice on a motherboard.
It must be made for that particular board.
Intel boards are good products, but not known to have a bios with overclocking choices.
A new bios is not likely to solve that problem--it will not have good overclocking choices either.
If you want to overclock, you would have to get a motherboard designed with that in mind--such as an Asus or Gigabyte. They are usually good quality and the bioses have the choices overclockers like--voltage adjustments, RAM speed adjustments, etc.
You can go to Intel site and research the most recent bios for that board, but I would be very surprised if it had any improvements an overclocker might use.
I have an Intel board myself, but I never intended to overclock. Intel boards are generally sold to people who don't have any interest in overclocking. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one OS Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit CPU Intel Sandy Bridge i5-2500, not overclocked Motherboard Gigabyte H67A-UD3H-B3, full ATX Memory 4 GB Crucial DDR3-1333 Graphics Card none; graphics are integrated on CPU Sound Card onboard: Realtek ALC892; external: USB Behringer UF0-202 Monitor(s) Displays NEC 90GX2-BK 19" LCD Screen Resolution 800 x 640 Keyboard Leopold Tenkeyless with Cherry Blue switches, USB Mouse Logitech or Microsoft optical wired; either USB or PS 2 PSU Seasonic SS-560KM, modular Case Antec Solo II Cooling CPU: Scythe Big Shuriken; Case: Scythe Slipstream 800 & 500 Hard Drives System: Intel 320 Series SSD, 80 GB;
