Due to security issues the only place Flash Player is allowed to save something physically is in its sandbox. It is a good thing not to have the option to change the physical path for saving SharedObject because otherwise mallware, spyware and all sorts of evil applications that do bad things will be saved on our computers. Although getLocal static method has localPath parameter there you can specify the availability (and avoid some conflicts) of a shared object to other swf applications in the same domain. SharedObject has also getRemote method that allow you to save share objects remotely on another server. This may be helpful to you but you need special server software like LiveCycle Data Services (old Flash Media Server), Red5, etc.

No since the saving/loading is handled by the player itself.
