Hi,
Is it possible to write self-modifying code in D, who will 
perform at runtime? Or is it a characteristic of languages that 
compile to bytecode?

Not easily. Just the obvious approach to invoke the compiler and 
run/load the created executable / shared library.

 Or is it a characteristic of languages that compile to bytecode?

I would say that it is a characteristic of languages which 
provide a compiler-as-a-library.

SDC will make D such a language. :)

It remains to build SDC in the standard library of the future
