Not possible... however IF we used 10mbs half duplex wired and wireless as an example, there would be less throughput on a wireless connection if WEP or WPA is used. There is an overhead created by encryption that will slow down the amount of data arriving or leaving. How much it slows down depends on the the processing power at each end.

It is one of them, otherwise there would be chaos!! file locking
From a user's point of view, the file server does accept updates to a file from different people - but in reality each change is handled one at a time. The speed at which the changes happen can look simultaneous to users.
