No. Cornstarch is a thickening agent, whereas cream of tartar is an acidic salt used to help stabilize and give more volume to beaten egg whites. It is used as the leavening agent in baking powders. It is also used to produce a creamier texture in candy and frosting.
There is no good substitution for cream of tartar.
