Nope. You cannot.

In short No, you can't create custom fields via Apex as they are Metadata.

However ,there is a workaround which was created by @Andy.You might want to look at below :-

Also,the below post has replies which would inform how you can use the github package.

Ohk so you want to create a field on ApexClass object,I am afraid you can't add a new feild here.

However,I would like to understand what is the use case here and why you want to add a field to ApexClass object ??

Can u see tabs like Class body , Class summary, Version settings & Log filters ?? I want to add a custom field beside those existing tabs . If anyone know that we can achieve it , please help me out.
