Of course. Two things you can do:
1) Use overlapped I/O completion routines. This is a bit tricky to get 
right so it might be easier to implement option
2) Simply read from within a separate thread. I used this approach for 
async file support; you can find prototypical code in 
platforms/win32/plugins/AsynchFilePlugin
