How hard would it be to modify a computer like this?

That depends on the inside. But if you can fit a modern motherboard in there, you can build a modern pc relatively easily, just by putting in all new parts. The hiccups would be a gpu (they’re really big now); the interior space taken up by those disc and floppy drives, depending if you keep them and how they fit on the inside; and maybe the power supply, but you can make those flexible. If you have to keep an old mb, your best option is to use it to run retro pc stuff

Personally, I’d probably turn that into a home server/storage type thing. Run a Minecraft server, Plex, media storage, that’s what I did (Google casaOS to see if that’d work for you). Doing all that is specs-based, and I know not a lot about machines that old.
