Can you swap one for the other?
Only partly. Most of peach's flavor molecules (270 of 371) are also found in corn, but corn has 170 that peach lacks. Peach gives you part of corn's character without most of its roast. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.
