Ok, if I interpret PC as personal computer -> a client machine. Using that interpretation what you're describing sounds like a botnet (like SETI at home), not a cloud service as I understand it in the modern sense. In this case, I'm not saying it's not possible, I just haven't come across it yet, maybe someone else tried to use App Engine for that purpose.
If I interpret PC as a computational unit doing work on the App Engine service, then I think the short answer is "no", it's not possible. When you upload your application to App Engine, it will spool up one Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to serve your requests when a reqeust comes in, as more and more requests come in, more and more JVMs will be started to handle those and you will pay more and more for the computing resources. So in that sense, if you think of each JVM as a "node", no, you cannot control that yourself. It is automated. I'm still not sure what we're talking about, but maybe the above helps?
