N.C. pins, Not Connect pins

Can the N.C. pins be connected to GND or Vcc? I need to do this to make EPM3256 footprint compatible with EPM3512.

I have taken a decision. I am going to put four jumpers connected between the N.C. pins and GND or Vcc (as each corresponds) for EPM3256 device (leaving them open). And if I want (or need) to use EPM3512 device I will only have to solder the two pins of each jumper to make the proper connection.

Which package are you using, by the way?
