No. Unless you alter the code you can't.

Their developers will probably release a Electron Gold  wallet (like electron cash) was released, although, I wouldn't count on it, also only download from bitcoingold.org/btcgpu.org - use no one else.

Bitcoin Gold isn't even live yet. But when it is, please do like jackg said and ONLY DOWNLOAD FROM TRUSTED SOURCES. There was a user spamming a fake "Electrum Gold" wallet (electrum-gold dot org <-- SCAM), which contained malwares and other users were spamming a fake website that asks for your private key to "give you your Bitcoin Gold coins". Always research before risking your coins with stuff like this.

A week or so ago I had Bitcoin Gold in my Electrum wallet, none there now?
I transferred BTC to Coinbase so did I lose my B Gold?

Were your coins in your wallet in October 24? If yes, then you received Bitcoin Gold and they are still there because the snapshat has already been taken before you moved your coins to Coinbase (You only moved Bitcoin and not Bitcoin Gold).

Actually, you can't even move your Bitcoin Gold yet, since the network isn't live.

There is no BitcoinGold official wallet yet, as far as I know. So you better wait for further informations and updated. Maybe the procedure to do will be the same we did for Bitcoin Cash fork (August 1). Wait and be patient until official news come around...
