I'm afraid not unless using external procedures.

Quoted from Oracle doc:
...
To support such special-purpose processing, PL/SQL provides an interface for calling routines written in other languages. This makes the strengths and capabilities of 3GLs like C available through calls from a database server. Such a 3GL routine, called an external procedure, is stored in a shared library, registered with PL/SQL, and called from PL/SQL at runtime to perform special-purpose processing. Details on external procedures and their use can be found in the PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference.
