Yes, use the set_properties method of ObjectRef to change the collisionbox property of a player.

This will change the box that people are able to click to target a player, not sure how much it affects other things though.
Every time a mod API is left undocumented, a koala dies.

set_properties only allows you to change the player's 'selection box' but does not change the actual 'collision box' though I see how this can cause some confusion as the property is called collisionbox

Being able to set the collision box could be very useful for custom player models, for example being able to move through single node high tunnels. There has, of course, been a PR for this since May last year ;-)
