Yes, provided that PDFXChange reads it from the USER environment
variable. Try using a wrapper script:

=================script=======================
#!/bin/bash
export USER="Phileas E User"
export WINEPREFIX=.pdfxchange_prefix
cd "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program Files/PDFXChange
wine PDFXchange
=================script=======================

You may not need to set the WINEPREFIX or change directory before
running wine: they are just examples. Change them to match your
requirements or leave them out if you don't need them and remember to
run "chmod u+x myscript" before trying to run it.
