Thats impossible, if the computer is switched on, then the files can't be accessed at all.

Briefcases do that exact thing, right click in a shared folder, i.e. on your laptop, and click "New > Briefcase" then drag the files you want to synchronise from the desktop, into the briefcase. Then, form then on, whenever you update a file, open the briefcase, and click "update all", and it will automatically update any files that have been changed, both ways (so if you edit a file in the briefcase, then it'll be transfered back to the desktop PC)

An interesting fact - a briefcase is called a briefcase, because it was used by lawyers to carry briefs to court cases
