My board need keep the first 0x40000 flash for special purpose. Is it
easy to modify the u-boot to load itself from 0x40000 instead from the
0x0000? Any help is appreciated.

It's not U-Boot code what  determines  the  boot  address,  but  your
processor.  So  your  real  question  is if you can teach your CPU to
start from a different reset vector. But sorry, we cannot answer this
here.

Best regards,

Thought for the day: What if there were no hypothetical situations?

If your hardware supports it, probably.  Otherwise no.  Perhaps you 
could tell us what your hardware is?
