Yes. This can be done by using distributed workflow activities.

But you need to create 2 workflows - child workflow and main workflow
At main workflow, it is satisfied your conditions, call the child workflow which is updating the records.

I have seen a blog post by Richard Knudson which can sync changes using workflows, I'm not sure if this will help.
