Can I update the inputs. conf file located in /opt/splunkforwarder/etc/system/local/inputs.conf
from the deployment server through an app ?

You will want to review the docs here : http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/5.0/Deploy/Aboutdeploymentserver. It is totally possible to update inputs.conf on a forwarder from the Deployment Server.
