No, it's all in your genetic code.

If you are young enough then you will continue to grow taller up to a certain age. And after that height increase will stop.

I'm maybe about to put my foot right in it again, but it was my understanding that even when your in your later years, the human body grows half a cm in night and then looses half a cm during the day, so each and every day you 'grow' one half of a centimetre

I think that's tissue expansion and shrinkage, not actual growth.

the discus in the spine recieve nutrients and water via osmosis. When we sleep, they get saturated and expand. This is where you get that tiny bit of height increase. As we stand up, move around and go through our day, we compress our spine and we lose that little increase that we got in the morning.

So maybe if you provided yourself with the right nutrients and stretched yourself while you were asleep at night with some sort of machine you could really exacerbate that discuss expansion to the point where the compression from walking around during the day wouldn't put you all the way back where you started and you could maybe gain a couple inches in about 20 years.
