Only in comic books and if you listen to the woo woo's.
Quantum physics model calls for gravity to be carried by a particle appropriately named a graviton. But as a graviton is currently envisioned by quantum physics, the direct detection of a graviton is well beyond any current technology. At best, observations may eventually be made that can infer the existence of gravitons.
A lot of nuts out there claim anti gravity to be possible by somehow dealing with anti-gravitons, but quantum physics considers gravitons to be particles that will not have an anti particle.
Special relativity considers gravity to be a very special feature of the universe that actually causes distortions of space itself, and not caused by gravitons. Nothing known about special relativity would lead one to believe there is any kind of anti-gravity either.

As far as we know right now: no. We don't know how gravity works yet. So we have no way of counteracting the effects of gravity.

I hope so becuase I hate weighing myself in the morning.

theoretically yes in pulsed force field generators which one day our alien friends will give us

If the theory of dualism is true, then I suppose there is.
