Sure you can. Make sure you get a windows XP cd to install it back though.

Yes and no. It will take most of a day and cost you some money, but it's possible. You'll need to start by purchasing a new copy of XP - not the upgrade version, since you're downgrading. You'll also need to look up all the hardware in your system (video card, sound card, controllers, drives etc) and download XP drivers fro them and burn them to disc.
Once you have all of this ready, start by booting off the XP install CD. Go into the Repair console and rewrite the mbr and format the hard drive. After you've done that, reboot the machine, boot off the XP CD and install XP. After the install, it's critical that you connect to Windows Update and download all of the patches. This will take some time and require several reboots, but you need to make sure you get all of them. Once you're completely patched, start installing all of your applications.

You can NOT downground from Vista to XP. If you want to go back to XP, you would have to format the hard drive (totally wiping everything on it) and make a fresh install of XP.
