Yes, and it has even happened. Although no human has ever gone there, NASA did send a probe called the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft to Saturn. This probe split into two parts, where one part descended into the atmosphere of Titan (Saturns largest moon) and took readings of its composition. It landed on the surface of the moon and sent back images (25 December 2004).

It would also be possible to land on many of the larger moons of Saturn, but would be difficult for the smaller ones due to the very low gravity.

No. Saturn is thought to have a rocky core, but the planet mostly consists of helium and hydrogen and traces of several other gases. Odds are you wouldn't be able to get very far inside the atmosphere due to how violent the winds are. Your spacecraft would likely be crushed by the pressure.
