OK, I understand. No, that is not easily possible.
You could try this (not tested):
Clear the characterDataHandler in the startCDATASectionHandler,
then set a defaultHandler, getting the raw (but encoded) data + do your
own processing on them, and finally re-set everything in the
endCDATASectionHandler. That is problematic especially when you
have entity references, although it is possible to have them expanded.
