Obamacare allows the president to issue waivers to its provisions, which Obama has so far done 1500 times.
What president Romney could do, legally, on Day 1 of his presidency, is to give the whole country a waiver. Which would, in practice, be repeal.
Under the law, the President doesn't have the authority to grant waivers. One must apply for a waiver, and the waiver must then be reviewed and approved by HHS. A President cannot change a law by executive order.
