Well, not with this camera. If you want to adjust tonal response, you'll have to do that in the classic way: with colour filters (the glass ones, not the sliders).
As usual an interesting read by Michael Reichmann:

I am not entirely sure "tonal response" is the correct term, as tonality has nothing to do with colour, but with how light or dark something is? You can still adjust the tonal curves however you want to, and still can do HDR even.
You are 100% correct in that adjusting how colours are converted into black and white tones is way more flexible with colour data.
I do not think the 50mm f2 ASPH is developed with this M9 M in mind <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Another big advantage of this BW sensor: Gone is the colour moire!
