You can't change the default player (which only plays MP4), but you can install a variety of 3rd party video players that can play locally stored videos or stream videos that use other codecs.

I use AVPlayerHD to play videos stored on the iPad and AirPlayer to play videos stored elsewhere that I stream via DLNA. Both support Xvid, Divx, MKV, etc.

As mentioned, there's also VLC.
