No you can't! There are, however, several 3d modellers available that
will enable you to make the objects interactively if that is what you
want. Try to look at http://twysted.net/ and press the reviews link
where you can download some of the most popular modellers.

Some of it looks a bit like C but it will not be easier for you to learn
C first. But if you want to learn programming later on, Povray is a very
good way to learn the basics. (and you will probably find it a bit
easier to learn C later on, if you know povray)
