Sure, it won't be a convenient experience, and if the non-binary data is not single-byte encoded it's unlikely to be really usable as even stripping/replacing the NULs will not allow to convert to that multi-byte encoding if it has stricter rules than "any byte goes anywhere" (like UTF-8).

Anyway, any solution for editing binary data is gonna be sub-optimal if not specialized for that type of data. Geany knows binary data that represent text, anything else it doesn't. Even real hex editors are usually a pain if they don't have specific support for the format -- but still, they permit to do some useful things sometimes.
