It'd take some doing. You wouldn't be able to burn a CD-R backwards without some extra steps; a "blank" CD-R contains some data in the pregroove to identify it as a recordable disc and specify some parameters to the burner. A reverse-rotating drive wouldn't be able to read that data, since it'd be backwards. :)
