No, this is not possible. Remember this requirement: No pieces can be between the king and rook (and that includes your opponent's pieces).
Some additional clarification: Look at the position below. Just as White has a bishop preventing castling queenside, there is a Black bishop preventing White from castling kingside.
By definition, no. But there are several castling tricks where you use a defensive move offensively. It can even be part of an advanced multipiece middlegame exchange combination to turn the odds in your favor.
