Answer 1:
No, it is a crime. Fortunately, Judges are selected for their many years of experience, and it is virtually impossible to commit it without being caught. Penalties vary, depending on the locality and severity, but there are consequences, and unpleasant ones. There are more cynical answers to this, but frankly, unless one is a President, one is going to be in trouble.
Answer 2:
Unfortunately, perjury has become acceptable in practical terms. It is rarely prosecuted in today's courts. This is a fact. If the testimony is extremely material, in other words, it makes or breaks a case, then action might be taken against the offender, but generally, even in the case of important facts, simply disproving the testimony is the usual route taken by the opposing attorney and it is rarely prosecuted.
Mildly Cynical, but more realistic answer:
Judges are human beings like everyone and do not have the ability to see into a person's mind to tell if he or she is lying no matter how much experience they have. Judges are chosen for their experience and knowledge of law (and for their political connections too). They are not chosen because they can spot people who are not telling the truth. Unfortunately, more lying goes on in courtrooms under oath than one would care to believe, primarily because it is easy to get away with. But to answer the question: No, it is not acceptable.
