No.

The signature separator is a standard - it must be "-- " i.e. two dashes
and a space.  This standard allows programs determine what is a
signature and what isn't - you might notice that if the separator is
correct, and you reply to a message, the signature is not included in
the reply.

This is a very good thing.  I would vote strongly against removing the
*standard* signature separator.
