Hi Jacob,
Yes ,just reformat that partition and install Ubuntu CE.
Which version of UCE are you aiming for?
The "official" one on their page is v9.04 and is a relatively small file at about 700 MB
but there is an update to v12.04 or at least based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
see here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1998972
This is a much larger ISO at about 1.4 GB ,but contains several programs too.

For your installation use the "Specify partition" choice.
On this page is a reference to Vista and Linux as well.
Another way is to use Wubi and install Ubuntu inside windows

Can I install 12.04 inside Windows?

The last post is the most relevant imho.
Don't let Wubi download the Ubuntu ISO though.
Direct it to the ISO that you will have downloaded prior.
For one thing ,downloading the ISO separately is faster than via Wubi
and secondly ,the install is faster too.
That goes for regular Ubuntu as well ,but in your case you do need to have it separate
since you're dealing with a different version (CE).
Good luck with your project.

I have Ubuntu and would like to replace it with Ubuntu CE, can I just
format it's containing partition and install Ubuntu CE on it? or could that
cause MBR problems?
Blessings,
