short answer: no. The applet is running on the client computer.

Long answer: Of course you could setup your server so that one can
modify that url, and then do it that way in your applet using a
URLConnection / Stream.

Applets are restricted in their network access but IIRC they are allowed
connections to their serving server, so as long as the applet comes from
the same server...

This can also be changed I think but can't remember how ...

So yes, but with configuration outside Java too.
