Oh, I see what you mean :) Sorry for misunderstanding :)

Yes, it is possible. There is a hook named "processSubmission". It can alter prepared record (add fields, for example). There you can put fe_user id into your own field. For example:

function processSubmission($params, &$pObj) {
	$params['record']['tx_myext_feuser_id'] = $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->user['uid'];
	return $params['record'];
}

And you define a hook in ext_localconf.php:
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTCONF']['comments']['processSubmission'] = 'EXT:myext/class.tx_myext_hookclass.php:tx_myext_hookclass->processSubmission';

You need to defined your field as "group" type and set option "prepend_tname" as false for this field. Field itself can be int.
