It is possible. You need to look for the properties of the
figure, namely with something like:
set(gcf,'Pointer','custom','PointerShapeCData',something)
where something is explained in the manuals, and is where
you can freely use your creativity ;-)
Other property which might be worth investigating is
'PointerShapeHotSpot'
