Yes you can, you shouldn’t use over 60 watt bulbs though, because that fixture isn’t set up for the higher wattage and you can damage your light. It’s actually recommended that you use the lowest wattage bulb to conserve energy.

Yes. As long as the bulb has the same kind of screw type as the fixture, you may use any light bulb wattage up to the maximum wattage stated on the label on the receptacle.
