no gpo only installs MSI's for deployment. I would look at using a script
to achieve your needs.
 
I know that it is possible to install a piece of software using GPOs but
is it possible to install a single file (eg I want to change a software
install by a single config file but don't really want to perform a
complete reinstall - the file may already exist and need automatically
overwriting).

If yes - any clues as to how would be appreciated.

You could package up the file as an MSI using WinInstall LE from
http://www.ondemandsoftware.com/FREELE2003/ then deploy it using group
policy, but I'd personally just copy the config file down using a login
script.
 
Yes, I have used packaging to deploy files and even an Add-in for Outlook
Users on Windows XP systems where a "non privileged" user is unable to do
this curently, it works fine. Careful with the packaging..
