Yes, you can crush most tablets if they're not time-released or enteric coated such as Fish Oil softgels or SAM-e. Consider mixing the crushed tablet with yogurt, applesauce, or a cool drink which may make it easier for you to swallow. Avoid crushing time-released or enteric coated tablets as that can break the time released/enteric coated property of the tablet. One note is to not cut the tablet in half as the rough edges can actually make them harder to swallow.
