If by "code a novel," you meant "write computer code that makes a novel," then it is (sort-of) already being commonly done, in two different ways. One type is called computer games, and they have become quite sophisticated, both as code and as (partly interactive) novels. The other type is called "CGI animation," and is used to make movies.

But in these two types, the computer code is completely hidden from the consumer, who would have zero interest in it. Besides which, you don't read computer games and movies. Besides, I'm pretty sure you know about those two types! So perhaps you are asking instead if there is computer code that the consumer actually reads, and which is also a novel. If you could pull that off (successfully), you'd deserve both a Nobel and a Pulitzer! But, alas, the set of your target audience would be the intersection of the set of literati and the set of geeks. That does not bode well for sales. :-)
