If the patch is an operating system one just to the ORACLE_HOME, yes. If there is a database element to it (SQL scripts) then no.

if database is read write mode and if there are some application based tablespaces are locked (for not allowing users do changes in database) will database still able to patch or no ?

SQL> select open_mode from v$database;

OPEN_MODE
--------------------
READ WRITE
