This assumes a single linear timestream.

If you're the "being", and you're running a simulation of some system, you can absolutely create many parallel timestreams with different initial conditions. You can even return to some point in the simulation and try several intermediate conditions, resulting in different causal outcomes.

The many worlds interpretation would absolutely allow agency on the part of such a "being".

If you can create, then you are subject to time. This means you had a start. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
