Any way to access the filesystem on Acer C720?

I was curious in poking around on my Chromebook, so I was wondering if I could look around at what Chrome OS is made of. I followed the guide here: Poking around your Chrome OS Device - The Chromium Projects

at the bottom of the page, but I get this error when I try running it in the terminal:
===================================================
ERROR: YOU ARE TRYING TO MODIFY THE LIVE SYSTEM IMAGE /dev/sda.

The system may become unusable after that change, especially when you have
some auto updates in progress. To make it safer, we suggest you to only
change the partition you have booted with. To do that, re-execute this command
as:

sudo ./make_dev_ssd.sh --remove_rootfs_verification --partitions 4

If you are sure to modify other partition, please invoke the command again and
explicitly assign only one target partition for each time (--partitions N )

ERROR: IMAGE /dev/sda IS NOT MODIFIED.
=======================================

So, would using the recommended command do what I need it to do, or brick my device entirely, or just not work at all?
