If you're asking if it's canon and consistent of what we know of White Court Vampires in the Dresdenverse, no.
If you're asking whether your GM could allow you to do it, sure, why not ... a GM can theoretically allow you to be part man, part aircraft carrier if he or she so chooses.
Some of you may disagree with me, but I'm pretty damn certain that the 'demon' part of being a WCV isn't actually literal as it is a personification of the Hunger. There's no Demonic Co-Pilot attached to the WCV template and even Harry's use of the sight is highly laden in imagery and metaphor. The one thing we do know for certain is that White Court Vampires are born that way and either turn in their teens when they give it to their hunger, or find True Love/Hope/Courage/whatever and become human. There hasn't been a single example in the books of WCV that did not inherit it from birth.
