No, you can't. You MUST BE RESIDENT (legally) in the state in which you are registered to vote. To become a 'legal resident' you must move to that state with the intention of 'living there' for at least one year, and have an 'address' in that state. If you are a 'student' though, and you are only 'going to school' in that state, and your parents can still 'claim you as a dependant' then you aren't a 'legal resident' of the state in which you are going to school. In many states, you will need 'legal identification' to 'prove you are a resident' but that isn't always 'necessary' because some people can get a 'drivers license' or a 'state ID' card in the state where they are going to school and still not be 'legal residents' of that state.

Of course, if you become a legal residence of California...

Not unless you establish California as your main residence or else you need to get an absentee ballot.
