I take it you mean in the same way you could just code a series of "push 
this integer literal" instruction?

I don't see how you can do it, then.  Imagine a 10,000 state turing 
machine. You wouldn't be able to access state 5000's instruction without 
wiping out at least instructions 5003-10000.

Maybe there's something exceptionally clever you could do, but with 
limited-width registers (i.e., top-of-stack) it would be hard to know what.

Out of curiousity, what kind of language or machine is this?  Or is this 
like some contest/homework style problem?
