No, because it violates every good accounting practice.  Why on EARTH
would you want to do this?  It's not like you get a bank statement
every day against which you can reconcile.  Perhaps you don't understand
what the "Cleared" state is for?

I'll note that if you edited the data file you could make changes, but
doing so violates your warranty ;)
