The first change or two will be fairly dirty. That's the reason for changing it again so quickly. (These motors tend to soot up oil pretty quickly anyway) And it'll also be important to change the filter with each change (good maintenance practice anyway, but especially important if you're at a stage where you're trying to clean things out)
IF you wanted to, you COULD remove the valve cover, carefully remove any solid sludge or crud, and brush down everything you can get to under that with kerosene or diesel. All that grey sludge and grime would wash down to your oilpan. From there, you could simply drain it well and refill with oil, or you could also drop the pan and clean it out. Even doing that, I'd change the oil again fairly soon after that exercise, as you'll have loosened some stuff up.
Only caution I'd make about that is to be sure you have new gaskets on hand before removing either the valve cover or the oil pan. There's a good chance the old gaskets have hardened up and might not reseal, or possibly even break in opening them up.
