Yes, you can set it in the web.config

Just set it in the web.config under the <system.web> section. In the below example I am setting the maximum length to 2GB

<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="2097152" executionTimeout="600" />

Please note that the maxRequestLength is set in KB's and it can be set up to 2GB (2079152 KB's). But default file size limit is (4MB).

You can set the web.config's maxRequestLength property in code like this:

Configuration webConfig = System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration( "~" );
var section = (System.Web.Configuration.SystemWebSectionGroup)webConfig.GetSectionGroup("system.web");
section.HttpRuntime.MaxRequestLength = 10 * 1024; // 10 MB
webConfig.Save();

We do this exact thing in our Rock RMS content management system.
