No. Corn starch is usually used as a thickener (for gravies, soups, puddings, etc)., whereas baking soda is used as a puffer-upper for biscuits, cookies and unleavened breads and so on. Use flour as a substitute for corn starch, and baking powder as a substitute for baking soda.
Can you make cupcakes with out baking powder baking soda corn starch cream of tartar?
Baking powder is a "leavening agent" that makes cakes rise. Baking soda and cream of tartar together do the same job -- they react to make carbon dioxide gas. If you try to make cupcakes without either baking soda, or the combination of baking soda and cream of tartar, your cupcakes will not rise and you will get something close to cookies. Corn starch is a thickener and acts similarly to flour. If you have flour, corn starch may not be necessary.

Is there a difference between cornflour and baking powder?
Corn starch is an ingredient in baking powder and is actually used as a thickener in recipes (by itself). Corn starch is the starch of the corn grain obtained from the endosperm of the corn kernel. It is used as a thickening agent in soups and liquid-based foods such as sauces, gravies, and custards. Baking powder is a dry chemical leavening agent used to increase the volume and lighten the texture of baked goods such as muffins, cakes, scones, etc. Most commercial baking powders are made of an alkaline component (sodium bicarbonate) and inert starch (cornstarch) and one or more acid salts.
