Yes, you can disengage GS and LOC mode by switching to HDG. You'll automatically go to V/S mode as well.
But does this make sense once you're on final?

Theoretically you could maintain heading and vertical speed until the other runway is inserted and then re-intercept with LOC/GS armed... (definately easier on parallel runways)
