If all you want to do is play worthless exercises, fine, if not get a teacher.

Yes, you can. I dont like Hanon, I think Leschetizky exercises a little more useful, namely for a beginner. But only to begin. After some time, there are a lot of pieces one may use to develop technique and musical feeling. A teacher is allways the best, of course. But if you cant have a teacher for any reason, you may study without him. Here, in this forum, you may learn a lot of good things. I suggest you read Bernhard posts. One of them have a list of musics of crescent level and how study them progressively.
Best wishes
