In theory, yes; with digitized sound, anything is "possible."
However, in practice, it isn't all that different from altering digitized
photos. In theory, a "perfect" false image could be produced, but in
practice, subtle errors are detectable. Once you've detected that
alteration has occurred, the information is suspect, and the
perpetrator has added clues as to his/her identity.
