I don't believe so.  Only way I can think of is creating your custom VF page that would mimick activities related list.
mjohnson-TICmjohnson-TIC
Yes, go to Setup -> Activities -> Task Buttons, Links, and Actions. Create a new list button for Task here. Go to the page layout you want to add it to, go to properties of the related list, click on buttons and add the new button to the layout.

 Hi ,
         Creating a list button  is through using a vf page ? 
mjohnson-TICmjohnson-TIC
No not vf page, this can be done through the UI. Follow my instructions above to create the button.

I'm not sure you can add Task Buttons to Activity History or Open Activities related lists (I'm assuming those are the related lists you were thinking of?), but I would definitely try what @mjohnson-TIC suggested first.  However, what I was suggesting was create a custom VF page that would have the same functionalities of the those related lists.

Thank you so much I Really appreciate your effort but  My question is what should be the content source when I select a list button ? 
mjohnson-TICmjohnson-TIC
It depends on what you want the button to do. Do you want it to go to another url? Do you want it to execute javascript? Do you want it to go to a custom visualforce page?
