Can't say very much without a look at the circuit diagram but I guess yes. Maybe it's a simple design with a TL431 driven feedback.

Usally laptop charger can be moded easly as madires said they have a feedback loop
wich u can change the resistenc but dont know much about that.As if u go to low the
psu shuts down and i dont know whats the min voltage on that thing.

just get a step down module of ebay
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DC-DC-CC-CV-Buck-Converter-Step-down-Power-Supply-Module-7-32V-to-0-8-28V-12A-GA-/181617142420?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item2a4939aa94
that one is rated for 12a and you would have a much wider range of voltage and you could even use that charger as a bench power supply with that module. (that's what i did when i was starting out)
hope this helps
