Yes, you can and you should wash your makeup brushes.
1. Put a small amount of facial cleanser in the palm of your hand.
2. Wet the brush bristles with warm water.
3. Swirl the brush bristles in your palm, working the cleanser into the bristles.
4. Rinse the brush with warm water.
5. Repeat the 4 steps above until all makeup is out of the brush. (The rinse water will run clear when the makeup is out.)
6. Gently squeeze out excess water with a clean towel or paper towel.
7. Reshape the bristles and lay the brush flat on a clean towel or paper towels until dry.
You should clean your brushes a least once a week. Your makeup brushes pick up oils and bacteria with use. If you are using quality brushes and cleaning them on a regular basis, they will last a very long time.
Make sure to use a gentle, facial cleanser to wash your brushes with.
If you have cheap brushes they make fall apart or not do as well being washed. It is wise to invest a little bit in your makeup brushes. This does not mean you have to buy the real expensive brushes, but you need to spend a little bit though. You want to find a brush that is soft and does not shed. I have listed a couple of sites under sources that may help you. Makeup brushes should last you years with proper care and cleaning.

Run a bowl of warm water and drop a couple of drops of antiseptic liquid like detol or TCP or any other cleaner (not bleach, but the stuff you cean your ears with when you get them peirced is good). Leave for a few hours, then wash them out with warm water.

To clean them, just dip them in a little bit of rubbing-alcohol solution and leave them out to dry.

With a special solution made just for that. Here is a link that you can order from with several brands. You can order it here or maybe find it or something similar in stores. I'll bet Walmart or the local drug store has something like it.
