No, it is not fixable at all through firmware. It's a problem with light
and the three color method of color capture. Looking at the UV problem,
both blue light that is visible to the human eye and shorter wavelength
UV light that we can't see are sensed by the same blue sites on the
sensor. Since there is no way firmware differentiate between light
wavelengths that get through the color filter in front of it, the
problem can't be resolved there. It also can't be resolved in post, at
least without elaborate selection/masking, since color adjustment of the
affected parts will take out blue that is correctly in other parts of
the image.
It's the same problem encountered at altitude, where UV is greater than
at sea level. The same sort of problem can occur with the red sensors
and IR light.

It's the only solution short of introducing some filtering into the
camera body itself.
