Yes you can, I found a picture yesterday on ebay of replacement steptronic paddles and it has three wires. One will be a ground or power wire common to both switches and the other two will go to a single switch each - it should be simple to just switch the wires over so that the paddle sends the signal that the push switch used to and vice versa.

There are two issues though: insurance and warranty - I'm not sure what the insurance implications are of doing this, it could void your policy and I'm sure the warranty guys wouldn't like it. On the plus side it would be invisible and I'm sure that most service guys just stick it in D anyway to move your car around.

I can understand why they would persist with the steptronic paddles on the step transmission, but with the DCT they had the opportunity to change things and I'm surprised they didn't want to capitalise on their F1 efforts.
