I need to put two cleats onto my boom (for back-hauling the clew). The block presently on the boom is riveted on, which seems to be working well. Can I just screw the cleats onto the aluminum boom.

I added a cleat on the boom for a reefing line. I drilled and then tapped the holes for screws. You will need to use anti-seize, or something like it, to prevent corrosion.

Do yourself a favor, run the outhaul to the cabin top and make it a multi-purchase system. Mine is 4:1 and even then it takes some oomph. In conditions that warrant heaving on the outhaul you don't want to be standing while fumbling with a line and cleat at the end of the boom.

Things get outhauled or downhauled. You are outhauling the clew.

Yeah, we cleat the outhaul at the boom-end and need to point up into the wind to take make it safer...running the line into the cockpit would be pretty sweet!

My cleats slide into the slot on the top of the boom. Cleat has a jam on one side.
