Yes you can do it fairly easily...

Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap("C:\\test.jpg");
Graphics gra = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);
string text = "Hello\nWorld";

gra.DrawString(text, new Font("Verdana", 24), Brushes.Black, new PointF(0, 0));
bmp.Save("C:\\test_out.jpg");

Acquire graphics from image calling CreateGraphics(), use its Graphics.DrawString method and save it as required.
