Anything is possible, use strong password, keep your computer clean but the real SAFEST way of keeping your bitcoins secure is to use a cold storage wallet, that way you don't have to worry about these things.
Hey,
I was just wondering, is it possible for someone to hack an encrypted wallet.dat
Thanks

certainly, especially if it was encrypted with a weak password.
EDIT: I don't know how fast a wallet.dat bruteforcer will work, but it's defenatly doable.
If you chose a strong password (+16 characters, using lower case, upper case, numbers and symbols, nothing from a dictionary) it's almost impossible.
I guess the encryption for the wallet.dat is SHA256 like the hashing algo, in this case it would be freaking impossible to bruteforce even with a supercomputer. I think a 12 character password would be enough to make it impossible.
Sure... I always advise 16+ characters, but 12+ will certainly get the job done.
Almost as important as chosing a long password, is chosing one that cannot be found in a dictionary, contains a combination of lowercase, uppercase, letters and symbols, and preferrably chose a different password for each application/website (you can easily use a password manager for this task)

So, what is the best to encrypt a wallet.dat?
Just use a strong password, and keep your PC clean (if they manage to download your wallet.dat AND use a keylogger, they'll steal your coins in seconds)
