Sure.  The website is stored in our Monotone repository alongside the
source code for libpurple/Pidgin/Finch.  There is information about
using Monotone at http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/UsingPidginMonotone
The website is in the branch im.pidgin.www

You would probably want to set up a local web server on a computer
that you have access to and use that for testing any changes that you
make.
