The answer is no.

But if the question is "Can you update data in the underlying table through view?" The answer is then yes. SQL Server will allow you to update data in the underlying table through a view. The tutorial exercise below is a good example:

UPDATE ggl_links_top SET url = REVERSE(url) 

 WHERE id = 100001;

GO

SELECT * FROM ggl_links_top;

GO

id  counts url

SELECT TOP 1 * FROM ggl_links ORDER BY counts DESC;

GO
