No.  It is your personal customisation file, and doesn't exist until you
create it.  Do C-x C-f, and when prompted for a file, type ~/.emacs.
(That last dot's the end of the sentence, not the end of the filename,
by the way).

Edit the file and save it.  It will do the right thing the next time you
start Emacs.
