Well those are not physical laws... but yes you could anyway by deluding all self aware creature in the virtual world thinking so, and anytime they would hint that isn't true, change their mind... that would certainly affect their consciousness and free will... but it could be done in principle. But anyway that was not what I was talking about, I was talking about physical laws not logic. You can make a totally logical consistent virtual world with other physical laws as our reality... nothing prevent us to do so, and if computationalism is true, we can make that virtual world have conscious inhabitants.
