Probably not possible, but a simple Google search returns these hits... A Windows RT Jailbreak tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092158
You can try turning off "secure boot" in your BIOS settings http://venturebeat.com/2013/02/06/yes-you-can-run-linux-on-your-microsoft-surface-pro/ And, applying general principles without at all looking at how an RT boots, I'd assume that it should be possible to chainload the Windows bootloader like x86 Windows. This assumes that the RT bootloader is likely the same as x86 Windows bootloaders so can be modified the same way. Don't know why there are no hits of anyone trying to do this.
