Not when using safe code, you can't.
void poke(T)(size_t addr, T val) @safe pure {

ptr[addr/T.sizeof] = val;

int i = 42;
void main() @safe {
writeln(i);

This is not legal D code. (pointer indexing is unsafe)
If the compiler doesn't give an error on that, it's a compiler bug, not a
language problem.
