If it was a small file, deleted recently, there's a chance.  The
Midnight Commander file manager offers this option.  If you don't have
mc, a couple of options are described here:
http://e2undel.sourceforge.net/recovery-howto.html.

One of the extended attributes for the ext2 filesystem is designed to
mark a file so that it should be recoverable, if deleted.  This isn't
currently implemented, though.

It is impolite to tell a man who is carrying you on his shoulders that
his head smells.
