Not sure I understood, but if I'm not mistaken, unfortunately the answer is no, it's not possible. Could be possible to write those letters into the skin itself, but I don't know a way to transfere the letters into any program you're using. Because I suppose this would be the idea, to can write them into any open program.
Please let me know if indeed this is your intention.

If you want to remap keys on your keyboard, AutoHotkey would work fine.

There is also a utility reviewed in this HowTo Geek article which reportedly can do that and more, though I haven't used it.

No, I think it's not, but see qwerky's reply above. I suppose AutoHotkey might help you.

Besides the other suggestions, you can resize the on-screen keyboard window to reduce the amount of screen space by dragging the window edges. There is a limit to how small (minimum size shown for my screen res), but I can't see any advantage a skin could provide.

Sorry to learn of the keyboard shortage in your area. ;-)
