Not natively...

But you can track down the appropriate sound files (recordings) and replace them with your own. Note, though, that the locations of said files are not readily known; consider it a scavenger hunt.

Two things...

1.) Check hidden system files/folders in C:\Windows, which are not automatically indexed or searched.

2.) Don't limit your search to WAV files; MIDI and MP3 files are also used in some cases, though I've never specifically looked into Speech Recognition's sound files.
