Short answer: No.

Long answer: Restore the database file and redo all subsequent updates
except that last one.  Updates MUST be in chronological order.  Timestamps
cannot be the same.
Alternatively, "rrdtool dump", edit the xml file, "rrdtool restore" may
also work.  But be aware in cases where you have more than one RRA: you
need to update all RRAs, chances are you have a hard time understanding
the math (no offense, but given the questions you ask, you're probably
not yet up to it).
