You can, just need to set the var to ansible_remote_tmp, see the var entry
for it
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/sh_shell.html#parameter-remote_tmp.

Roberto,
Sorry, I think worded this question wrong.Ansible's 'remote_tmp' directory that
can be modified in the 'ansible.cfg'is what I need to be able to modify on a
per task basispreferable within the task file.
I know it can be set per host in the host file with Ansible versions
>=2.4.Ri
If you are using a variable like "my_temp_dir", then you can overwrite it
before each task using something like:
- set_fact:
my_temp_dir: "new_value"
as a separated task.
However, if the variable is provided at runtime as an extra var, some
additional considerations should be done regardin
