If you really wanted to give yourself an ulcer, you could use CF to modify the templates containing your CF array statements. You wouldn't really be able to use CF's array processing functions to do things like DeleteAt(). Overall, this could get seriously ugly in a multiuser environment.
If the real goal of having no "back-end" data is to avoid using an ODBC database, then you could fake it by using a small text file. Not a terrible solution if there are only a handful of items, although it's not really a good solution if there's much updateing of the data. Use CFFILE to read the file and populate your CF array. In both instances, make sure you're using CF locking extensively. Either way, in a moderately trafficked multiuser environment, this will be pretty inefficient. Consider also using CF query functions to build a query from your data instead of using an array. It may make looping over the data and other processing (query a query) a bit easiser.
