You certainly can transplant it, and a terra cotta pot is fine choice for this. Some also like to use a container that you water from below so as not to wet the foliage.

However, if you're going to remove the plant from it's store-bought pot, it should only go into a new pot that's just a little bigger than the one it's in. Transplanting to larger vessels should be a gradual process as the plant grows. Here's an article:
