;i remember there was a thread by Lee Mac here,
;it was something like this:
(vl-load-com)
(if (and (setq blk (car (entsel "select entity..")))
(vlax-write-enabled-p blk)
) ;_ and
(vla-explode (vlax-ename->vla-object blk))
) ;_ if
;it means that you clone the block first, then you are able to manipulate ssget filter, modify, delete, etc..
;make sure layer is unlock
;hope this help
