You can, if you be careful not to bring your hand too low down to the nose. The nose is not a place where you should pet a horse because they can and will bite you. The best place to pet a horse is on the forehead or neck. If a horse is particularly head-shy (or not willing to let you pet him anywhere on his head), giving him a scratch or rub on the neck is the best way to make friends with a horse.
