Basically, no.  Those buttons are a function of the Windows standard window 
creation logic.  It is possible to add to or change those buttons (using 
ctypes) - but you are looking at some pretty hairy and poorly documented 
routines (such as the required callbacks for each button).

What you CAN do is use the overrideredirect method to turn off the entire 
top bar and instead put one of your own (Tkinter) buttons there.  Just 
don't forget to handle the (closing, moving the window, etc.,) events for 
the window.
