No, you can't change the dash location.

There's been a Compiz plugin release which will move the location of the launcher. This will implicitly move the location of the dash.

All the details are in this answer, but to paraphrase,

Download an archive from this link, and extract to your home folder. Run these commands

sudo apt-get install lzma
mkdir -p ~/.compiz-1/plugins
cd ~/unityshell
cp libunityshell.so ~/.compiz-1/plugins/
mkdir /tmp/unityshell
cp *.png /tmp/unityshell/
cd /tmp/unityshell/
chmod 644 ./*
sudo chown root:root ./*
sudo cp *.png /usr/share/unity/4/

And use this

rm ~/.compiz-1/plugins/libunityshell.so

to revert changes. Logout to apply the changes.

It's more or less experimental at this point, and far from changing the location of the dash, it breaks the dash opened from the moved launcher. I would not recommend it to anyone. – Oxwivi Oct 27 '11 at 15:19
@Oxwivi It's still functional, and not really harmful. Someone might find it useful. And it does move the location of the dash, even if it looks a little weird. – root45 Oct 27 '11 at 15:30
Yes, someone seeking launcher at the bottom might find it useful. It wouldn't be a nice surprise to see a weird dash, though of course functinal. – Oxwivi Oct 27 '11 at 15:56
I think this is a worthwhile answer -- even if it isn't native behavior, I imagine bugs will be worked out. – belacqua Oct 28 '11 at 5:38
Downvoter, care to explain? – root45 Apr 23 at 22:23
