Is there a way to disable xpack.security.enabled to false from helm chart during elasticsearch deployment on a K8s cluster?

I am getting the below error while reindexing.

```
"error" : {
    "type" : "s_s_l_handshake_exception",
    "reason" : "PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target",
    "caused_by" : {
      "type" : "validator_exception",
      "reason" : "PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target",
      "caused_by" : {
        "type" : "sun_cert_path_builder_exception",
        "reason" : "unable to find valid certification path to requested target"
      }
    }
  }

```

I am not able to edit the elastisearch.yml on the pods as those files are readonly.

Anyway of doing it through helm?
