It depends.

Sometimes you get a GtkTreePath from the treeview API when you ask for
something (e.g. gtk_icon_view_get_path_at_pos()).  Since that is a
newly-generated path that you own, you can do anything you want with it.
People may use it as a counter and increment the index to iterate over
the model, or whatever.

Sometimes you get the GtkTreePath as an argument to a callback (e.g.
GtkTreeModelForeachFunc).  Generally you shouldn't modify the path in
that case.
