No. ePub is an ebook file format which cannot control the settings of a reader. Perhaps the ereader software that you use might have a fullscreen option setting which open epub files in fullscreen mode by default, but that is the best you can do.

 

And even if it were possible to create a link or button that controls the ereader software, it would only work for that specific reader. Which is just a bad design decision.

 

The only working approach would be to convert the epub to an actual app(lication) which runs in full screen mode. This is possible, I believe, with the In5 plugin.
