The normal way to scroll on a MacBook trackpad is to use two-finger scrolling.
Is it possible to scroll with one finger as follows:
- Press and hold a key-modifier (e.g. ctrl/alt etc).
- Scroll using one finger like it is two fingers, while key pressed.

You can remove the inertia for the two fingers scroll, just select "without inertia" under Trackpad inside the System Preferences :
I dont have a Magic Trackpad, but on my Magic Mouse its the same gesture that is used for forward and back in Safari. In the mouse its swipe two fingers to the left and right, so if the Trackpad is just like that of a macbook, Im 99% sure its swipe three fingers to the right or left.
Hope it Helps! Kevin

What works for me is Scroll tool that allows you to enable single finger scrolling on the trackpad side. I got the idea from this superuser thread
