Not sure about the 777, but in most aircraft they are not accessible in flight. Further, I doubt there are any doors on the 777 that can be opened in flight. It's an interesting conspiracy theory though - land airplane, hide it, throw black boxes into a remote location of the ocean. It would definitely divert the search efforts.
