With a product like Thompson's Water Seal, sure you can - no problem there.

The companies that make pressure treated lumber suggest you may stain or waterproof the products using a good quality stain or sealant, providing the wood itself is clean and dry. For additional information on handling pressure treated lumber, including, uses (where and where not to install it), safety and disposal of left-overs, please see the related link below.
