No.  That is the simple answer.  The more complex answer is that, yes you can change the ownership of the .wine directory so that NOTHING can be added/deleted and then point the temporary file directory to somewhere else.  This is not as trivial as it seems and is best left as an exercise for the student.

That is because we have discouraged this in the past, but if you read through the forum you will discover that past attempts have failed.
