Is it appropriate to end a sentence with a preposition -- such as Can you go with?
Though there is, generally, no rule against ending a sentence with a preposition, the example cited here is, in fact, gramatically incorrect, which is why I separated it from the main question.
Separating a preposition from its object (which is normally what you're talking about when you say "end a sentence with a preposition") is more accurately referred to as "preposition stranding", and is perfectly acceptable in the English language, either written or spoken, formal or informal.
What's wrong with the sentence, "Can you go with?" is not that the preposition (with) is separated from its object, but that the object is completely missing.
In addition to being improper English, this is also one of my all-time pet peeves.

Is it appropriate to end a sentence with a preposition such as Can you go with?
That particular example is faulty because you have no object. The sentence "who can you go with?" is a form of "you can go with whom" but whom sounds odd when moved from the object position. In informal writing and dialogue, you will often end a sentence with a preposition when you want the object first in the sentence: "Bob is the only one I'm sending this to" instead of "I'm only sending this to one who happens to be Bob."

Should a sentence end with a preposition?
Yes. Some sentences almost necessarily end with a preposition, constructions whose main verb is an idiom in which a preposition is part of the verb, like get along, go without, set ( something) up or give in. Every so often, learnèd fools decide that English is flawed in some way, and should be forced to conform to some other standard - Latin, for example - by way of political correction. Thus many a "rule" that is wrong. Ending sentences with prepositions did not occur in Latin, but it was and is perfectly good English. In spoken English, we often end a sentence with a preposition, rather than rewording a sentence to avoid this.
