No.
Why on Earth would you be able to?

Let's ignore the whole "speed of light" thing for a moment. In order to see through something, photons of a very narrow range (400-700 nm) need to be able to penetrate the object. To be honest, you do this every day if you have any windows in your abode. Glass is a "solid matter" which happens to be optically transparent. Bricks, on the other hand, are also "solid matter" but are opaque. So, you really don't need to be traveling at the speed of light in order to see through solid matter. The speed of, say, smell should suffice if you would like to test this.

No. Seeing is done by the human brain using eyes and optical nerves as receptacles. Eyes need light, light is absent in solid matter, ergo you are not going to see through it. The fact that you are moving at this speed will not allow or influence light to pass through the solid matter which would be a pre-requisite for a visual experience.

travelling at the speed of light is not possible

Dependant upon what fraction of the speed of light you are travelling at now is it not... lol

As we already know that some types of radiation particle pass straight through solid objects I can't see why not.

first of all we can't travel at the speed of light -so you question is of no use

no, you'd see nothing and you'd die because at that speed even the air will be like a brick wall when you try to pass through it

No
velocity would not alter a subjects mass or density
