Today, most of '51s have on-chip FLASH (that's basically the same as EEPROM, it's just the wording).
From these, many can "reprogram themselves". The program running from the internal FLASH can reprogram an another part of the internal FLASH. These are usually already equipped also with some ROM based program, called bootloader, using which the initial programming Look for "IAP" and "ISP". Read the FAQS: http://www.8052.com/faqs.phtml?FAQ=123234 , end of http://www.efton.sk/wiki/device+programming.html This is what you are looking for. Now the selection of such devices is quite wide, but if you have already some DIL40/PLCC44-based devboard or similar, you might try to get AT89C51ED2/RD2 or P89V51RD2 or DS89C450, for a kickstart.
