You can, but only at compile time. Just change the 'tags' vector in
config.h, re-build and re-install.

Again, i3 does exactly this. If you care a lot about this behavior, I
suggest you have a look at it. It's quite good, but so is dwm. They
each have somewhat different strengths and which you use is a matter
of what is important to you. I am continuing to use dwm because I
don't much care about seeing only occupied tags and there are some
things that I *do* care about that dwm does a bit better.
