Not for the purposes of making pysanky. You could take a hard boiled egg, peel it, and then soak it in a food-coloring based dye, and get a cooked, colored egg. You could even eat it--probably safely. (Who really trusts the FDA any more?) Hard boiled eggs will rot quite quickly, so this is the only reason I could think of for doing this-as a novelty food item.

Why does vinegar make egg dye stronger?

The dye binds to the protein in an egg shell; this is an animal protein, similar to silk or wool. The same types of dyes that work on silk or wool will also dye eggs. The dye molecules bind, both directly and via hydrogen bonds, to protein molecules in the eggshell. The dyes used to dye eggs are acid dyes, called that because they work best in an acid environment. Vinegar is an acid, and adding it to the dye solution makes it more acid, and potentiates both types of binding.
