Yes.  Use the model dissector or just grab the weights out of the model.
 You can also access the weights matrix directly using getBeta()

A bi-exponential prior is built-in.  You can set the weights by using
getBeta().assign(newValues).  Unless you set the learning weight decay to
be slower than usual, however, this may not have much effect.  This
initialization is very different from a prior distribution, though.

If you could say more about your goals, we could comment better.
