I'm sure that it's not (yet) possible to do that, although that would be a huge breakthrough. Imagine malware that could detect what (OS) is on the ISO image and inject itself into the files inside the ISO stealthily... all at run-time when you click the "burn this ISO to this CD" button. Yeah, we'd just be screwed at that point.
