No, I think Data is entirely mechanical: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Soong-type_android

Though on topic, in one of the (not-so-canon) novels, there was a plotline where Data tries to write fiction. The best he can do is basically rip off other authors to point where another character thought it was supposed to be a parody.
