Yes, you can, and you should. It is dangerous and unhealthy for a captive turtle to go into hibernation.
What you need to do is put/hang a UV heat lamp over the tank. The heat lamp simulates the summer sun, so the turtle goes through the winter without hibernating. This is definitely the safest course of action.
You can buy heat lamps at most pet stores, including Petco. You can even buy a timer for the lamp, so you don't have to be home to turn it on every morning and off every night.
I have included two links: one to the Petco page where you can buy Zoo Med Reptile Basking Spot Lamp Bulbs, and a lamp to put those bulbs in. The other is to a website called X10.com, where you can buy a timer.

What does it mean when your red eared slider turtle hisses?
When your red eared slider hisses at you, it is basically the same as when a cat hisses. They either want you to stop handling them, go away, or get out of their face. My larger and grumpier red eared slider hisses all the time, so don't take it personally if they hiss at you and think they hate you. They've just had enough. But I laugh at mine, since all you have to do sometimes is walk by him and hear a soft "ssssssss!!!" :)
How often do you feed your baby red eared turtle?
I have two red-eared sliders, and a yellow-bellied slider. I feed them once a day, everyday. I feed them all at the same time--in the morning. It is usually between 6-7am during the school year, or 9-12am over summer break. I use turtle food bought from Pet Smart. In it is mini sticks (scientist made stuff,) mini shrimp, and baby krill. My turtles eat a lot for their size(1inch in diameter)--about 15-20 pieces.
