The short answer is yes they can. It is best to prune your cacti based on methods recommended for each species. Here is my favorite website for caring for cacti of all types:

Good luck with your cacti gardening.

Cactus can always be cut back just like any other plant. However if you are doing it yourself use extreme caution as cuts and scrapes can become infected if no cared to appropritaly.

Actually it depends on the type. Strong growers can usually be cut without harm. Certain types will have the normal growing form destoyed. In some, once cut they may live but not grow.
