No. Modifying a const object is UB, so e.g. we can segv if it's in .rodata, but a const pointer is not necessarily a pointer to a const object. If it's a const pointer to a non-const object then one can cast it directly to a non-const pointer and mutate at will. This unfortunately makes 'const int*' of rather less use than it would otherwise be.
