No.

Yes:
$ git rev-parse HEAD~$N >> .git/info/grafts
$ git filter-branch HEAD
This assumes that your history is strictly linear and you do not have
tags. It also rewrites the $N commits so that they now have different
SHA1s. For this reason, don't share this repository with anyone - it leads
to confusion.
