What, you mean in the same way that they can wind them back....?

I think you'll find quite a lot of effort has gone into discouraging that practice...

I wouldn't place to much reliance on what an odometer says when buying a bike, far better to ask into it's past as much as you can (relatively easy now that MOT history is online) and see if the condition of the bike matches what you are being told.

According to the clock on my SV it's only done around 13k, and the MOT history shows it's been that way since about 2013....... I know that's because I've only got magnets on one of my front wheels and I haven't used that one much.......
