No you can't.
But you can disable the fsck completly from the /etc/fstab and then
write a small BASH-Script (put it into /etc/rcS.d/S30doscheckfs)
which count the Boots. And after a defined number of boots the check
the FAT32.

It is normaly, because I asume, you have installed Knoppix from
the Live-CD :-) There is the fsck disabled in the /etc/fstab.
Aktivate it and the problem is gone
