Most likely YES, through software or manually through the BIOS.
Software: Motherboard manufacturers have their own software where you could overclock the processor while inside windows. Another software popular among overclockers is Clockgen.
Manually through BIOS: Enthusiast motherboards always have the full range of overclocking options. Typical boards may allow some form of overclocking.
I suggest you do some readings first on overclocking basics so that you will understand the effect of every adjustment you will make and so that you will not be surprised by the BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death).
As long as you stay within stock voltages, you need not worry about damaging anything.

Yes, and it is on the internet, but, why?
If you want to run upto 50X faster, without blowing up the hardware, get http://pclinuxos.com or one of the other 310 LiveCDroms at http://livecdlist.com
Speed loading programs is limited when run from the CDrom. Installed, programs load very much quicker! Microsoft Corporation runs all he 'Nixes on, or in front of, all their servors, to protect from the "114,000 Microsoft Virus Definitions" and DDOS attacks.

It depends, if you have a PC from a major manufacturer most likely no as the OCing options are locked in the BIOS.
