You can use both to cook. However, if you meant to ask if you can substitute one for the other, you can't. (Not on a 1:1 ratio.) Baking soda is stronger. 1 tsp baking soda= 3tsp baking powder; but substituting one for the other may alter the outcome of your recipe, which isn't necessarily bad in every case.
