Absolutely.
It's called creating custom list form. See here for instructions.

I'm trying to customize layout, add javascript and change some other visuals in SharePoint Designer workflow task form. I'm using SP Online and this is related to SharePoint 2013 Workflow (not SharePoint 2010).
Previous versions generate InfoPath or ASPX forms for each task. 2013 does not. Instead it uses content types for tasks but tasks always open in edit mode using a common EditForm.aspx located in ../WorkflowTasks/EditForm.aspx
I suppose changing this form will affect all workflows on that site, which is not the goal.
Is there a way to force SPD to create a dedicated edit form for each individual workflow task? I tried to change the Edit Form attribute on a content type used with my existing tasks but it has no effect.
I can browse WorkflowTasks folder contents in SPD and each associated content type gets a respective folder. I thought SPD would put task forms in there but that's not the case.
Anyone has an idea?
How do I go about creating SPD workflow and edit the ASPX task forms?
Thank You!
Create a custom content type based on Workflow Task (SharePoint 2013) content type.
You can then select a custom content type in your task.
See https://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/171646/custom-task-forms-edit-display-new-in-sharepoint-2013-online-office-365 for additional info.
It`s possible in sharepoint 2010, will set up a list of custom data source and then adapt new input forms from visual web parts which will replace the existing add, edit and delete forms?
if it is possible, then how?
Here is an article on MSDN that describes how to use InfoPath to customise the Display, Edit and New forms for external list data (business connectivity services).
Just like in SharePoint 2007 you can change the association of the New, Edit and Display forms using SharePoint Designer in SharePoint 2010. You can create new ASPX pages, or use InfoPath forms as per the above. These ASPX pages can contain the functionality you want directly, or host visual web parts with the right permissions.
Here is an article that describes how to change the associated forms for a list with SharePoint Designer. I would recommend creating new pages and associating the list to those rather than trying to update the existing pages. This avoids any problems if the out of the box files are updated by a service pack / hotfix etc, and also allows you to revert to the out of the box forms if needed.
I don't know if I can edit a sharepoint list using Forms Services. Is it possible design Infopath Forms working with Sharepoint lists
In SharePoint 2010 (you did not mentioned the version) that is easy as cake, just hit Customize Form in the List Form and you're inside InfoPath with a editable version of the list.
In 2007 its more complicated, see this msdn article
Can use my custom page to add/Edit item from sharepoint list?
if yes how? Do i need to do any config changes?
Sure you can! Check Create a custom list article form from Microsoft site. You will use SharePoint Designer 2007 for all the customizations. It also allows you to convert every form to HTML/XSLT and to customize it even further.
In SharePoint Designer, create a new ASPX Page then go to Insert => SharePoint Controls => List Form or Form Web Part and play around to see if it fits your needs.
Does anyone know if it is possible to Lookup list data from a different site when creating a workflow with Sharepoint Designer 2007? The Define Workflow Lookup dialog only allows you to pick from lists in the current Sharepoint site you are creating the workflow in.
Ideally I'd like to be able to pick from a list in the parent site, or a site from a given URL (eg. http://myserver/mysite)
You cannot do that with OOTB activities. However you can build a custom SharePoint designer activity to do the task you need. We usually create just a call web service activity and then we call a SharePoint we service we need.
Take a look at this CodePlex project for some custom SharePoint Designer activities.
SPDActivities on CodePlex are very useful. However, if your exact requirements are not covered by any of those activies then you may want to consider embedding c# or vb.net code directly into the SharePoint Designer Workflow (Without resorting to Visual Studio).
I wrote a blog article about how to do it exactly at the following location:
