No, you need access to a working .htaccess file or the server's httpd.conf file.

how do you create a custom error page if you have access to a .htaccess file??Use the ErrorDocument directive:

  ErrorDocument error-code document

where error-code is the response status code to be handled (404, 410, etc.), and document is either a quoted string or a URL (absolute, or absolute path) to the document to be returned.

The Apache documentation (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/) for the ErrorDocument directive (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#errordocument) contains more information and a few examples.
