No, you can not.
While it may be tempting to adjust yourself, it is advised to let a dental professional do the job. They are less likely to cause irreversible damage and are trained to look for the key sore spots.
People do it all the time but I advise against it. The adjustments needed are very precise and require special equipment and a trained person to do it properly. There is a great potential for you to break or throw off your bite if you do it on your own. All I can say is good luck if you decide to adjust it on your own.
Probably. However not a smart thing to do. You don't have the knowledge or skill that a dentist has and you are more likely to screw things up.
You can do anything you want. It may help or it may cause damage.
