It's just a database - as long as you have the name of the server/database and the proper permissions, there is nothing that can stop you. However - the schema is pretty involved, so figuring out from there what you need can be tricky - depending on what you really want to do, you may be better off using the web services to access the Sharepoint OM.

In case you want to write to the database directly - don't. There is no practical way to do that without getting yourself into deep trouble farther down the line, and support won't be able to help you out.
