Yes you can do. It sends the keyevent 227. so executing 

	xmodmap -e "keycode 227 = Super_L"
	xmodmap -e "add Mod4 = Super_L"

sould work for you. But maybe it is more comfortable for you to use
Caps-Lock as a modifier key. Normaly the Caps-Lock-Key is only
distributing. But it works great as a modifier-key. you can use it as
the windows-modifier key with:

	xmodmap -e "remove Lock = Caps_Lock"
	xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = Super_L"
	xmodmap -e "add Mod4 = Super_L"

I even do this on non-notebook-keybords :-). Hope I could help. 

Have fun
