For your purposes, the answer is no. However, it is possible through the use of something called a Configuration profile. However, Configuration profiles are for enterprise use only.

Organizations can set up and manage devices on a large scale. These organizations can use mobile device management (MDM) to send specific instructions to devices with the profiles installed.

Among these is Lock a Device . Apple's description:

You can display a message and phone number on the Lock screen if the user has set a passcode for the device, it isn’t a shared iPad device, and it isn’t in Lost Mode. In macOS, this command uses the Find My framework to lock a device, and fails if there’s no recovery partition on the device.

So, no, you can't. Administrators managing enrolled devices can do something similar.
