No, IQ is supposed to measure how effectively your brain works, and it gets pretty much stable after a certain age is reached. Working hard and learning stuff might just change it by a few points only.

IQ and knowledge are two different things. IQ is fairly constant for every single person. IQ measures the brain's capability to solve certain kinds of problems. You can't increase it. What you can possibly do is to try to reach your limit if you feel you're not using all of your intelligence, by trying to solve problems, and so exercise the brain. But increase beyond your limits, no way.
Knowledge on the other hand, can be increased by studying. But you still need the IQ in order to use the knowledge you have in a good way.

There is a reason why you have homework. It makes you practice skills in thinking. As you answer quicker and more accurate, in a way, your IQ is increasing.
So if your in your prime of your youth and have a low IQ, I suggest you try practicing from simple math problems while being time limited.

IQ --- intelligent quotient
Intelligence Quotient, was used to detect persons of lower intelligence, and to detect children of lower intelligence in order to place them in special education programs. The first IQ tests were designed to compare a child's intelligence to what his or her intelligence "should be" as compared to the child's age. If the child was significantly "smarter" than a "normal" child of his or her age, the child was given a higher score, and if the child scored lower than expected for a child of his or her age, the child was given a lower IQ score.
Today IQ testing is used not primarily for children, but for adults. Today we attempt to write tests than will determine an adult's true mental potential, unbiased by culture, and compare scores to the scores of other adults who have taken the same test. So today we compare an adult's objective results to the objective results of other adults, and determine how intelligent each test taker is compared to all other test takers, instead of comparing test takers to an arbitrary age related standard.
