Yes, but it will spoil faster. The stories about botulism are a myth. Today's cans are made of tin, which is safe (however the food can develop a tin taste, which is undesirable). Just make sure the can is not dented, bulging or rusted.
If you're going to use it in a short period of time, it's okay. If not, put it in a plastic or glass container, to avoid an undesirable flavor.

If the food in the can will be used within 1 to 2 days and will be cooked, it's okay to store in the can in the fridge. Otherwise, you should just transfer to a plastic container.
I started using those tomato paste tubes that are packaged like toothpaste because I got so sick of saving those little cans of tomato paste in the fridge.

It sure is, but what for put canned food in the fridge? Canned food are meant to be stored in a dry place, unless they have been opened.

Yes. If you're afraid of it tasting like other stuff in the fridge, put a ziploc bag or aluminum foil over top (if it's opened).

I've always heard it was not safe to leave it in the can. So I just put it in a storage container or zip lock it.

Yes... they even make the plastic lids you can cover your cans with now... It is not like it was in the *good ol' days* when you would have had to worry about tomaine (?) poisoning.
