Is it possible to overwrite a current version of a document from a workflow? I need to update some fields in a list but when I update the fields versioning kicks in and changes the version number. I want the version number to rename the same. Versioning needs to stay switched on.

Use SPListItem.UpdateOverwriteVersion()
Updates the item without creating another version of the item.

@MikeBlair you will need to follow this post as you will need to create a custom workflow activity, get reference to your listitem it's running on and then update it manually, social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/… , search the article for item.SystemUpdate(); and change it with item.UpdateOverwriteVersion(); and it should work.
