You can use Wine (http://www.winehq.com) and WineX (http://www.transgaming.com) for applications and gaming.
If you mean, can you mount your existing Windows partitions: You can safely mount your FAT32 (i.e. Win9x/ME) partitions read/write, but you can only safely mount your NTFS (i.e. Win2K/XP/2K3) partitions read-only. Attempting to write to an NTFS partition could cause data corruption.
OpenOffice.org does a wonderful job with files created in MS Office. And while WINE (which allows you to run some, not all, Windows exe's in Linux) is free/libre, you can also buy a commercial version of it from Codeweavers that's supposed to be even better...according to them, anyway! YMMV.
