You cannot. But you can call a function within the submit event which can dynamically validate files, and set some "base" validators in the validation option.

validation: {
// set default options such as making sure all uploads are images 
// or within a certain size.
},

onSubmit: function (id, name) {

   var file = this.getFile(id),
       validated = validate(file);
   if (validated) return true;
   else return false;
}

If this function returns false, then the item will not be marked as validated and not be uploaded. If this function returns true, then the validators you set in the options will be ran over the file(s) afterwards.
