By the rules, no - the restriction that you can only create/destroy water in an open container is there specifically to prevent many of these shenanigans.
Obviously, your DM can overrule that if they like.
Could I use Create or Destroy Water to either oversaturate someone, or take all of the water from their bodies??
Spells only do damage if they say they do damage. You cannot expect a 1st level spell to kill someone.
If you want to sap all their moisture away - you'll need something like Blight.

The rules only say what you can do - not what you can’t.

If a spell is meant to do damage, it will say so. If it doesn't, then the spell doesn't.

Wasn't there a thread on here months ago, asking if this spell could be used to drown someone by filling their lungs with water. The consensus was no.
