Yes, easily. Use VirtualRPC, OvationPro (RISC OS) and TableMate.

Without VirtualRPC - no way. Even if you invested in a Draw file 
editor for Windows, you would still only be able to edit the file as a 
Draw file, not as a table. That might be enough to fix a spelling 
mistake but more comprehensive changes will be tedious.
