No. Each process can issue "SET TRANSACTION ISOLATIION LEVEL READ
UNCOMMITTED" when it logs in, but there is no way you as admin can
set this default.

Then again, making dirty reads the default isolation level is a pretty
wild thing to do, so I would suspect that you real problem has a
completely different solution.
