Sure you can.

| setenv is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `env.el'.
| 
| (setenv VARIABLE &optional VALUE SUBSTITUTE-ENV-VARS)
| 
| Set the value of the environment variable named VARIABLE to VALUE.
| VARIABLE should be a string.  VALUE is optional; if not provided or
| nil, the environment variable VARIABLE will be removed.
| 
| Interactively, a prefix argument means to unset the variable, and
| otherwise the current value (if any) of the variable appears at
| the front of the history list when you type in the new value.
| This function always replaces environment variables in the new
| value when called interactively.
| 
| SUBSTITUTE-ENV-VARS, if non-nil, means to substitute environment
| variables in VALUE with `substitute-env-vars', which see.
| This is normally used only for interactive calls.
| 
| The return value is the new value of VARIABLE, or nil if
| it was removed from the environment.
| 
| This function works by modifying `process-environment'.
| 
| As a special case, setting variable `TZ' calls `set-time-zone-rule' as
| a side-effect.
