Yes, yes you can.
The relevant functions to do this are:
wp_create_userCreates a user given a user/pass/emailwp_insert_userCreates or updates a user given user/pass/emailadd_user_metaAdds User Meta ( same as Post Meta/Custom fields but for users rather than posts )You’ll find examples on how to use those functions, and links to more possibly relevant functions. Use these functions in your form handling code on submission, make sure to escape all values entered.
