You cannot move a mouse if that is what you're asking. But you could call a function with whatever context and arguments you want. E.g.:

function foobar(e)
{

}

someElement.onmousemove = foobar;

var obj = {whatever:'you want'};
foobar.call(someElement, obj); // calls foobar(obj) in context of someElement
