Is it possible to do that in windows?

If I remember correctly, a version of Nero on Windows used to be able to do that. Unfortunately, I never used it because the only time I tried to, the computer glitched and permanently destroyed my CDRW, so I've never tried again.

I'd venture to guess that Nero installed a CD-ROM driver in Windows and took care of writing to the CD in a proprietary format. In that way, I'd also assume that using only software to manage that would not be possible, as device driver-level support would also be required.

Totally Guessing,

Yep, a quick Google search resulted in finding Nero InCD, which allows the disc to be used as a (be it, very very very slow) normal writable filesystem.
