Directly - no.  In ArcGIS 10, use the "Create File GDB" geoprocessing tool to create a 9.3 schema file geodatabase.  In the Catalog 10.0 window (or ArcCatalog 10.0), drag/drop features classes from your 10.0 geodatabase to the 9.3 geodatabase.  Then open a blank ArcMap 9.3 document and point to the 9.3 geodatabase feature class data.

Good luck!
