Sure you can.
Give someone cocaine for a long period of time. Take away the cocaine. Tell that person "Do X and I'll give you more cocaine".

For a computer, all they have to do is find the memory address that holds their virtual cocaine and increment it. Sure, we have technology to protect against unauthorized memory access but normal human hackers find ways around it every once in a while, and AIs will eventually be smarter than that.
