If it's technically feasible to override or roll back transactions, you've violated one of the central tenets of block chain.
To be clear, I did not state such. Ownership can be transferred by smart contract. This does not violate a core tenet of blockchains and is a key feature of almost all blockchains which still exhibit signs of life.

For what it's worth, this is quite implementation specific and leaves a lot of room for intentional and appropriate design decisions.
Not really. If it's technically feasible to override or roll back transactions, you've violated one of the central tenets of block chain. You can design a system that allows transactions to be rolled back or changed by a central authority but the result would not be a block chain and would not have the desired characteristic of resistance against government compulsion.
