Is it possible to successfully use Response.AddHea der for a robots meta tag?

It looks like you're confusing response headers with the HTML "head"
section; the two are entirely unrelated.
The response header is the data block sent back to the browser by the web
server which passes things like the result code, cookies, etc., and which
you never get to see (unless you're doing "raw" browsing with something like
SamSpade or Lynx).
The HTML "head" section is actually simply a part of the HTML stream, which
the server pays no attention to as a separate entity from the "body" or any
other part of the stream. It's this location that you'll need to add your
"robots" directive to, as a meta tag (you'll find plenty of references to
the "robots" meta tag using Google).

On a side note, you can add a [Headers] tab to the [Page Info] window in
Firefox, by adding the "Live HTTP Headers" extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3829
In addition, you can use the extension to capture a log of all[1]
request/response headers, and use its "replay" feature to tweak your request
headers before re-submitting a request (this includes all headers and even
POST body content).
[1] You can filter out immaterial request info, such as image and css
requests

No, I'm afraid that you are confused.
What you are discussing is correctly called the HTTP Headers, not the "response
headers".

Duh.
You can modify some HTTP meta response by adding comments within the <HEAD></HEAD>
section.
My original question, is do search bots bother to read the HTTP headers for a robots
name/content pair.

Sorry spellcheck.
That should have read:
You can modify some HTTP meta response by adding CONTENT within the <HEAD></HEAD>
section.

You might just as well ask if they bother to read the META tag versions.
When we went through the process of selecting a search appliance for our
internal servers, several vendors confessed to us that they do not obey such
tags.

What you are discussing is correctly called the HTTP Headers, not the
"response
headers".
The term HTTP Headers is general term to the set of headers defined in the
HTTP spec. Some HTTP Headers only have meaning as part of the Request phase
of a HTTP session, some only have meaning in the Response phase and a few
can be used both in the request and the response.
When refering to HTTP headers that are sent as part of the response we tend
to use the phrase 'Response Headers'. The Response.AddHea der is a method in
ASP we use to add such 'Response Headers'.

The actual header you are after is X-Robots-Tag :-
Response.AddHea der "X-Robots-Tag", "noindex"

The well behaving bots do honor noindex, nofollow within a Meta tag in the
Head element. Some, including Google, also honor rel="nofollow", good if
you want to have a link to an outside host, but do not want SE to follow
it. You will also, if you have not already done so, want make use of a
robots.txt file [ www.robotstxt.org/].
Understand that misbehaving bots will ignore all your efforts.
