In many cases, the contract of custom tokens are based on eosio.token contract. You can add custom actions, or change the logic of existing actions such as create, issue, transfer and so on.

The main difference of eosio.system contract and others is that eosio.system is for privileged account, so it contains privileged APIs like setpriv etc. (Privileged APIs are not callable by normal account and you can find them from eosiolib/privileged.h)

    Why not? Customize as you want, and deploy it on your account. If you mean the contract deployed oneosio.tokenaccount, it’s not possible. Only the majority of block producers can have a permission to modify it.
