Yes if is possible to manipulate and access the base workspace from within a function. Just because MATLAB provides this functionality, however, doesn't mean it is a good idea to use it. Please consider alternatives.

The functions you are looking for are EVALIN and ASSIGNIN.

Please note Daniel's warning, that assignin is a bad programming practize.

you can use assignin function to reference to variable in the workspace in your function.
