Yes you can. With a little feature called page methods.

Decorate your codebehind method with the [WebMethod] attribute and you can call it from your page via javascript and within your WebForms html.

See this: http://www.singingeels.com/Articles/Using_Page_Methods_in_ASPNET_AJAX.aspx

Also see how to use JQuery to call asp.net page methods.

Yes, you can. See here. It requires putting a ScriptManager tag on your page, and decorating your methods with an attribute.

You can do it with or without a script manager. I would suggest looking into the ajax method in jQuery (http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/) as well as these links:
