Yes. 

At first you should get an idea what R is and how to use it. For a
"layman" a point to start is reading "An Introduction to R".
If you feel comfortable with the manuals and cannot figure out how to
solve a problem, you can ask the mailing list, but put an appropriate
subject into the header, please.

Well, you can use source() to source the code. How to import the data is
described in the "R Data Import/Export" manual - it depends on the
format of your "data". 

Since your questions is not very explicit, I cannot give an explicit
answer.
Please, tell us your OS and version of R in case of forthcoming
questions.
