It is definitely possible.
It is usually not especially profitable, if at all. This depends on what CPU, what coin, power costs, etc. At current rates, expect <$1/day, even for a high-end CPU.
There's several threads in this subforum on the best CPU coins to mine right now, but I still wouldn't recommend it if your goal is to make money at a reasonable rate.
