No, it's not intended as a general-purpose secure datastore. From the iOS App Programming Guide (emphasis mine):

Keychain Data

A keychain is a secure, encrypted container for passwords and other secrets. The keychain is intended for storing small amounts of sensitive data that are specific to your app. It is not intended as a general-purpose mechanism for encrypting and storing data.

What you probably could do is store the data in more conventional places, and secure the decryption key in the keychain.
