No, as Lawrence answered.

What you ask for smells like the wish to use FreeType for manipulating
fonts.  FreeType is *not* suited to that!  Its job is to render
glyphs, nothing more.

What you probably need is a program to create font instances, for
example,
https://fonttools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/varLib/mutator.html.

AFAIK, the Cairo library does that automatically while generating
PDFs.
