No. Fsck can repair corrupt metadata assocaited with a filesystem. You need to better phrase your question so that it's more narrowly defined.

fsck will fix the file system inconsistancy ,It can not repair any data blocks , if blocks are are corrupted the files will be move to lost+found directory , and you may have to move it back from there . But there is no gurantee that it will rpair/recover data.

fsck doesn't repair data, as stated by the others above. Chances are if you have corrupt data you need to do a restore.
