*All* capacitors have an impedance value, which can be characterised as
an inductance and a resistance in series with the capcitance, as well as
a parasitic resistance which appears across the terminals. *All* real
current sources have an internal impedance, wich appears in series with
the source voltage. *No* capacitor can be instantaneously charged in the
real world, although you can come fairly close with small capacitors and
low supply impedance.

In theory, yes, in practice, not a hope in hell.
