can and will are stronger ACTION verbs and seems to be used for the present (eg, i will go shopping later. i can climb that tree) could and would are less active and tend to be used more for regret, possibility or past tense. (eg, i could have done shopping yesterday. i would climb that tree if i weren't sick.) and will and shall are interchangeable :)

The answer goes something like this, If I can, I could and if I will, I would, and, if I will, it shall be done.

Very little difference, other than tense.
"can/could" means "I am able to do something.
"Will/would" means I do something voluntarily.
"Will/shall" are used interchangeably.
