That's going to be problematic, because almost all of SQLite's usage
of underlying I/O is block-style, not stream-style, more akin to
accessing elements in a persistent byte array (with other practical
matters added on, of course) than to reading and writing streams.
You'd probably be better off just writing temporary files in both of
the cases you mention, unless (in the latter case) you actually have
per-block (or similar) crypto going on rather than purely streaming.

(You do use seekp, but some underlying streams might not support it.)
