Generally speaking...yes. It depends on the State's law.
In Texas, there are two main exceptions to the right to have a bond set:
1) Death penalty cases
2) Felony probation revocation (although some judges will set one).
The amount of bail is normally determined by a judge shortly after arrest. If the bond is too high then you need to consider hiring an attorney to request the judge lower the bond. A person has a right to reasonable bail in light of the circumstances surrounding the events and background of the defendant.
I would recommend consulting with a lawyer in your area for more specifics.

As long as the judge lets you. Bail/bail bond figures are set by the judge in each case. Unless the judge believes you to be either a flight risk or a danger to the community they generally set bail. Judges are constitutionally required not to set unreasonable bails, but they have a decent amount of discretion as to what constitutes "reasonableness".
A judge is likely to set a fairly low bail figure for a simple breaking and entering charge, especially if there weren't any weapons involved, and even more so if it's a first offense.

Definitely if no weapons were involved. If a weapon was involved, if no one was injured, or if no one was confronted with the weapon.
People get bailed who have murdered someone else. The likeliness of bail not being set for a simple breaking and entering...not likely.
If you/friend haven't done a breaking and entering and was wondering if you'd/they'd be able to make bail...reconsider. It can't be worth it, but I try not to judge.

If bail is granted to second degree murder suspects, breaking and entering should be easy to get bail.

Probably. I think you can get a bond for most things, excluding murder in this. I doubt that there is a bond for murder to any degree. I have no clue as to what it is, but my guess is about $750 or more.

Sure you can once the judge sets the bail. It is all up to the judge.

bond is generally set within 24 hours of arrest. call the jail or a bondsman and you can find out if someone is bondable. it is all bases on charges, criminal history, county of offense, how full the jail is, etc.
when i was a bond agent, the highest bond i ever wrote was $200,000.00 for murder.

You can get bonded out for murder. Why not B&E?
