Sure it is; just modify the TCA of tx_dam;

You will find a modification example in
   ext/dam_demo/fields/ext_tables.php

hth, regards georg;
PS: below I attached a simple example for your convenience;
=================================
// load the TCA
t3lib_div::loadTCA('tx_dam');

//	Customize available fields in the Media > File - Edit Dialog
$tx_dam_all = '
	--div--;LLL:EXT:dam/locallang_db.xml:tx_dam_item.div_overview,
		media_type;;;;3-3-3,
		thumb,
		title;;;;3-3-3,
		keywords,
		description,
		caption,
		alt_text,
		ident,
		creator,
		publisher,
		copyright,
		instructions,
		loc_country,
		loc_desc,
		file_usage,
	--div--;LLL:EXT:dam/locallang_db.xml:tx_dam_item.div_extraMeta,
		meta,
';

//	Customize available fields for different Filetypes
$TCA['tx_dam']['types'] = array(
	/* undefined */
	'0' =>  array('showitem' => $tx_dam_all),
	/* text */
	'1' =>  array('showitem' => $tx_dam_all),
	/* image */
	'2' =>  array('showitem' => $tx_dam_all),
	/* audio */
	'3' =>  array('showitem' => $tx_dam_all),
	/* video */
	'4' =>  array('showitem' => $tx_dam_all),
	/* interactive */
	'5' =>  array('showitem' => $tx_dam_all),
	/* service */
	'6' =>  array('showitem' => $tx_dam_all),
	/* font */
	'7' =>  array('showitem' => $tx_dam_all),
	/* model */
	'8' =>  array('showitem' => $tx_dam_all),
	/* dataset */
	'9' =>  array('showitem' => $tx_dam_all),
	/* collection */
	'10' => array('showitem' => $tx_dam_all),
	/* software */
	'11' => array('showitem' => $tx_dam_all),
	/* application */
	'12' => array('showitem' => $tx_dam_all),
);


//	caption + instructions should be only 2 lines
$TCA['tx_dam']['columns']['caption']['config']['rows'] = 1;
$TCA['tx_dam']['columns']['instructions']['config']['rows'] = 1;

//	Customize available fields in the Upload Index-Dialog
$TCA['tx_dam']['txdamInterface']['index_fieldList'] = '
	title,
	keywords,
	description,
	caption,
	alt_text,
	ident,
	creator,
	publisher,
