Yes, you can. From method of your button you can call your onchange method. Onchange will return dictionary, you have to fetch values from dictionary and pass that dictionary in write method.

Sample:

def your_btn_method(self, cr, uid, ids, context=None):
    for rec in self.browse(cr, uid, ids, context=context):
        #Pass required fields value as a parameter in onchange
        res = self.your_onchange(cr, uid, [rec.id], rec.field1, rec.field2)
        if res.has_key('values'):
            self.write(cr, uid, [rec.id], res.get('values'), context=context)
    return True

Hope this will help you.

Short: In the standard webclient not.

Before the action of the button is executed it makes a save (or create, when the record is new) and the form is reloaded anyway. This is done so, to have all data from the form on the server when executing the action of the button.
