Yes, you can. Just make sure that ShowTimeAs isn't "Free", and OwnerId should be set to the user or calendar that it should appear on. You might want to look at the Web Services API Developer's Guide for details on the Event object itself, and the Apex Code Developer's Guide for details on doing this specifically in Apex Code.

I mean I am not sure If I have to crreate custom calendar and then don it or I can use calendar on the home page and assign events to it.

Custom calendars are in Setup > Customize > Activities > Public Calendars and Resources. Each user also has their own calendar by default. Show Time As can be "free", "busy", or "out of office." It will appear on the calendar either way, but free times won't have a colored bar when viewing the calendar in "availability view." You should look at the documents on Events for more information (Web Services API Developer's Guide > Reference > Standard Objects > Events).
