Yes. Look at the HOW TO guide for extracting your private keys on a thread here in this section of the forum. You can then import the extracted seed into electron cash.

It's easy. The hardest part would be to export your private keys from your wallet.

1. Export your private keys by following this guide[1].
2. Download the Electron Cash wallet for BCH[2].
3. Create a new wallet by using your private keys from the step 1 guide.
4. Spend your BCH!

You'll get the BCH in a lightweight wallet on your computer. You can then choose whether to holdthis or to send it to an exchange to cash in. It's a functioning wallet that you produce and thus you can go the other way and buy bitcoin cash and store it there.
