Does the CCK module allow for hooks to alter the form

I have a custom content type called spot. I also have the views reference module installed and have a gallary view as a child of the spot. The view reference module lists all the views I have and I just want it set to a specific one. I can set the default, but I want this field to be hidden so people can't modify it. How do I do a hook_form_alter on the add "spot" form. I tried hook_form_alter("spot") but that didn't work.
