Not once it has started, but there are some ways to avoid it running
in the first place:

Add "fastboot" to your kernel commandline to make it bypass the
auto-fsck. A grub entry for "skip fsck" might be handy.

Edit /etc/fstab to prevent the auto-fsck from ever running by changing
the last field to 0.

If it's an ext[123] you can use tune2fs -i 0 to set the auto-check
interval to never.
