Can I upgrade my macbook air's SSD?

I have heard that people have successfully upgraded their MacBook AIr's SSD to a larger capacity. I want to know if its true? If so, can I do it myself or I have to ask technician to help?

I currently have the MacBook Air 13'' 128 G SSD. I'm very satisfied with the blazing speed of SSD. However, I'm a music maker and a photographer. I realized I need more space for putting BIG SOFTWARES such as LOGIC PRO (with upgraded add-on total 50G), Aperture, etc... Apparently, the current 128G SSD cannot satisfy my need.

I DO NOT want to install the software onto my external hard drive because I cannot bring the external hard drive everywhere. So, if any of you can help, please leave opinions.

Thanks!

MacBook Air (13-INCH, MID 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.5)

What about our operating systems when we replace our ssd with new one, namely, how do we get them to the new one?

By using a cloning software, i.e. Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.

There's also http://www.transcendusa.com/Apple/jetdrive/ which I'm seeing better customer reviews for than the OWC product. I just ordered one, so in a few days I'll know more.
