No.

If you want to make a live CD, put the repository and working copies
on a ramdisk or some other solution that allows writes (such as overlay
filesystems that cache written data in RAM).

With sqlite itself, yes. Subversion however will want to open the db for
writing pretty often, and will also want to create files in .svn/.
