Since SNMP is UDP based, it is possible that you can spoof snmp set
requests provided that:

1) There are no firewalls in between.
2) snmpd doesnt have any code to detect which interface an SNMP packet
   came in on (not likely).

certain set of variables that it can read/write.  (depending on what view
name means)
