Yes. The 12 volts of a vehicle battery is not sufficient to shock you nor is there enough potential to be significantly affected by the electrical resistance caused by the water. The low voltage of the battery and the jumper cables will not harm you.
Just don't touch the spark plug wires or the distributor while the engine is running or you're trying to start it; THAT voltage is high enough to give a thrill you won't soon forget.

What does it mean when you car stalls in water and doesn't start?
Don't drive in deep water. It means you got the electronics wet. Once they dry out it will start.
Every time it rains my car won't start?
Reasonable chance of ignition wires, (maybe cap and rotor if it has them) failing. I had an '82 Honda that did that and the rain was shorting out the battery when it splashed up. If I disconnected the battery everytime I stopped, I didn't have a problem. I finely took it to a mechanic to fix it.
Your car remote got wet and it is now not working what can you do?
Open it, remove the battery and place the car remote in a bag with Silica Gel to dry it out completely. Replace the battery with a NEW one and put it all back together. Next you'll need to read the owners manual for instructions on "pairing" the remote to the car. They'll use a different term so you'll just have to look up the remote. Typically the little door lock remotes are quite robust and can tolerate a little water but they won't operate when wet and won't operate if there is a residue left behind.
