Andre,

No. Code signing certs are similar to, but not exactly like SSL certs. A 
cert used for code signing must actually verify you or your organization's 
real-world identity. If just anyone could make a cert any time that would 
defeat the purpose. As far as I know, Verisign is the only entity that can 
issue certs valid for code signing on Windows.
