Would it be possible to create an office/tomb/dinning room and instead of assigning to a dwarf, it could be assigned to a noble position. So when someone is replaced as a noble, the rooms that had automatically become the new nobles rooms.

That would require significant rewrites, and the gain is small.

Except when it comes to shifting possitions and possibly possitions where someone has a good chance to die.

Nontrivial rewrites aren't 'significant'.  It'd take some doing but it'd be worth it.

Admittedly I know nothing of programming so how would this be hard?

Depends on how things are set up.  The only person who actually knows whether it's hard or trivial is the guy coding this.  Anyone else is just guessing, unless Toady One has made a proclamation somewhere.  I can make an educated guess, though.  I would expect it to require changing what type of object room ownership references.  I'd expect the hard part to be making sure that a room assigned to an empty noble slot doesn't show up as "unowned" and therefore claimable.  But that's just a guess.

It would definitely be a convenient feature, though.  Especially if you've been having trouble with crystal glass loving nobles.  I mean, my mayors tend to have their unreasonable mandates ended by magma, so...

Um. Yes they are. By definition, even.

Perhaps, but it'd be much less worth it than other things Toady could work on; correcting for this manually takes only a handful of button-presses, and arises yearly at most.
