Yes. There is a tutorial here http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iMac+Intel+21.5-Inch+EMC+2428+Optical+Drive+Replacement/5961
that will show you exactly how to access and replace it. Be SURE that you feel comfortable doing so though as you can do more harm than good if you aren't careful. Apple is notorious for tiny cables and logic board plugs that will break if not handled properly. Make sure you have the correct tools and that you have large enough suction cups to pull the screen out. If you pull on a small portion of the screen only, it will snap into pieces on you and they cost more than the drive to replace.

GOOD LUCK

When I shutdown my Mac book Air and when I tried to start the loading is too long than normal...easy to say it can't even be turned on...can anyone help me..??
It is most likely your hard drive. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to check it. If you have an external optical (CD) drive you can use that and the Air OS disc to see if you can reinstall the Operating System or repair the drive. If you have any newer iMacs or MacBook Pros you can also use their optical drive as the Air's optical drive to do the same thing.

While trying to install OS10.5 and it will attempt to but it freezes, you the Apple booting circle it stops.
Probably the OS 10.5 version your're installing is not compatible or supported by the system motherboard of your computer model Apple Power Mac G5. per my research from Apple website herewith is their solution quote on what applicable OS to install for such model: "Power Mac G5 (Late 2005) and iMac G5 (iSight) models require Mac OS X 10.4.2 or later, you can t install Final Cut Pro 3.x or earlier versions on these computers. Final Cut Pro 3.x and earlier versions are not supported on any computer running Mac OS X 10.4". best regards
