Converting English number notation using the so called Arabic Number system to Roman Numerals is possible to anyone knowing the arcane art. In the present educational system in Canada and the US many students under the age of 30 have never been trained to do this and look in puzzlement at dates on monuments such as MCMLVII. Even older ex-students who were trained in the basics feel their grasp on the conversion slip when numbers s in the tens of thousands and millions crop up.As a consequence anyone "may" be able to convert from one system to the other as no law or custom prevents it but they only"can" if they have been instructed.

For completeness the Arabic Numers in use in Arabian countries are not similar to the Western Notation called Arabic Numbers.

Yes and no. Yes, because there is no special permission required to do so. No, because there is no such thing as an English number.
