Yes, you can - and probably should - put an outboard bearing type of crankset on it. That's a Caffeine frame, very sweet frame and worth upgrading if you would like.
In my opinion, wheelset and crankset right away. Wheels will make the biggest difference in how the bike feels. For the crankset, go Go XT or Stylo 3.3 OCT, for example. If you're looking for weight savings, the seatpost, bars, cassette are all candidates, too.
The Juicy 3 brakes get mixed reviews. Personally, they feel fine for me, except the lack of adjustment can be frustrating.
If you want a quality feeling cockpit, upgrading the shifters can make a big difference. Those X.5 shifters look like they're make out of a GI Joe action figure.
For comfort, grips and saddle.
