Of course; -_-. You just change the icon, sleep and change it back. >.>

Look up an admin system library and use something similar to that.

You can make it a proc, and then add it to your list of verbs when you login, like so;

mob
    proc
        werewolf()
            usr.icon='werewolf.dmi'
            spawn(500) usr.icon='Headmaster.dmi'
mob/Login()
    if(src.key == "VolksBlade")
        src.verbs+=new/mob/proc/werewolf
    ..()

Like

mob/verb/Werewolf() //So everyone can see it
if(usr.key=YOUR KEY HERE) //If it's you (make it your key) it goes on
usr.icon = 'werewolf.dmi' //Changes their icon to the werewolf icon
sleep(600) //Waits one minute
usr.icon = 'headmaster.dmi' //Returns you to your old icon
else
usr<<"You're not able to do this!"
return

Of course, you could make vars to keep it from being used while it is already in use, to prevent errors.
