I don't think you can replace it... but there are uncoooked recipes that don't use it though. They just seem to go sticky sooner and aren't as pliable in my opinion.
Uncooked recipes also seem to go off faster.

But, I did some googling about Cream of Tartar & apparently it's an acid - also used in baking & when beating egg whites. Here are some suggested alternatives:
White vinegar or lemon juice, in the ratio of 3 times the amount of cream of tartar called for, will provide the right amount of acid for most recipes.

I cook my dough, then you don't need to store it in the fridge. But I cook it in the microwave, rather than the stove - much easier. I use the recipe on the Cream of Tartar package - but I add double the amount of oil they suggest (gives a better consistency).
