If you are 18 or under, if you are a full time student (18-24) and if you have lived in their house at least 6 months out of the year

If you are 19 or under they would have to claim you. If you are under age 23 and a full time student they would also have to claim you. It is possible for them to give up claiming you under these circumstances in order to allow you to claim educational tax credits. Even if they give up your exemption under these circumstances you still may not claim yourself.
If the above does not apply then if you have more than $3,300 of income you must claim yourself they would not be allowed. When I say the above does not apply I mean that you are over age 19 and not a full time student.

If you are under 19, or under 24 and a full-time student, or totally and permanently disabled, then they can claim you if you live with them for more than half the year, and you didn't provide more than half of your own support. I'm assuming here that you're single and a US citizen or resident.

Are you under 18? If so, then yes, they can claim you.
Did they provide at least half of your support? If so, then they get to claim you
Even if you are a student, even if you live on your own, or even if you are filing your own tax return, they still get to claim you if they provided at least half of your support.

they can if yo meet 2 requirements:
1. they are your relatives (you obviously meet this one)
2. you live in their household
3. you are their dependent and they contribute at least 2/3 of your income
4. you are a full-time student or are under 19
I seem to remember a few other rules too from my income tax class but those are the most common

If you're living in their house and you're under the age of 19, yes.
If you have income and you're supporting yourself (including paying them rent and something for food), you can claim yourself because there is a "self-support" test for them to pass before they can claim you.
If they do end up claiming you, you can still get a partial deduction in addition. Look at the back of 1040ez to see if the worksheet gives you anything. (Of course, you have to have income of your own for this to be any use to you.)

Yes, if they feel you are dependent upon them in which case you can't file as an independent individual.
You can't file if they have already claimed you as one of their dependents. In order for you to file on your own, you must be able to produce a w2 form, as well as show proof that you live on your own. Example, Rent stubs, utility bill stubbs.
