It depends where they are in the process. During jury selection, there is an opportunity to interview the jury pool. The questions can be personal, but should have some relationship to the case and the ability to serve. Once the trial has started, there should not be individual conversations with jurors.
Good voir dire questions should focus on uncovering biases, attitudes, and experiences that potential jurors may have that could impact their ability to be impartial. Questions should be open-ended, specific, and designed to elicit honest responses from jurors. Examples include, "Have you ever been a victim of a crime?" or "Do you have any beliefs that would prevent you from being fair and impartial in this case?"
There are websites available where you can ask lawyers questions. These websites allow you to enter in a question into a standard form, and a lawyer will respond to it. Alternatively, most lawyers will offer a phone consultation, where you can ask simple questions, prior to an initial consultation.
Attorneys will ask prospective jurors various questions to determine if they will be a good fit for the jury. Prospective jurors can be dismissed if the attorney feels they are biased.
The states that expressly encourage judges to allow jurors to question witnesses are Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Nevada and North Carolina. Out of these jurisdictions, Arizona, Florida, and Kentucky require that judges allow jurors to ask written questions. The respective highest state courts of Indiana and Kentucky have ruled jurors have a right to ask questions of witnesses. (See related link below for more information.)

Ask very casual questions, like "How are you?" and such. Not anything that is relevant to their personal life.
