No 
Unless you implement a password system.

Re: Is it possible....
NO IT IS NOT!!!! you simply make a save variable copy of everything, for example
When I recieve save game
Set save x to x position
When I recieve load game
Set x position to save x.

JoelP's game, the Art Of Rock autosaves every millisecond, and then you can load it at the start menu of his game.

Re: Is it possible....
Scratch has no persistent state---you can't save the value of a variable from one run to the next. That is, if you quit scratch or open a different project, then all your variable values are lost.

Re: Is it possible....
Ah, but I do like archmage's observation about being able to implement predefined (and possibly password dependent) re-entry forks in a progressive project, like a game with a story line. That's a very simple way to let users resume a project at a point they got to before leaving it.
Using the user's brain as a kind of 'persistent' memory for Scratch's state IMO is an extremely clever and beautiful method I didn't think of before (and another point in case for an 'I love it' button to forum posts)
