Yes, you can.

ServiceEndpoint has a Behaviors collection. So if you create a service in C# code, you may add any behavior to this collection: standard or your one. The example of how to create custom behavior and add it to the endpoint see here. Keep in mind that you can create and add as many behaviors as you need.

If you want to add behaviors in the configuration, you will need to create Behavior configuration extension. Here is an example hot to create it and add it to the endpoint in config file.

EDIT:

Service behaviors can be added in absolute same way

Yes We can Create Multiple end points 

<services>
  <service name="ReportService.ReportService">       
    <endpoint 
           address="ReportService"  
           binding="netTcpBinding"           
           contract="ReportService.IReportService">
    </endpoint>
     <endpoint 
           address="ReportService"  
           binding="basicHttpBinding"           
           contract="ReportService.IReportService">
    </endpoint>        
  </service>
</services>

we can create multiple end points like this.in client side app.config or webconfig file it show like this 

<bindings>
        <netTcpBinding>
            <binding name="netTcpBinding_IReportService" />
        </netTcpBinding>

        <basicHttpBinding>
            <binding name="basicHttpBinding_IReportService" />
        </basicHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <client>
        <endpoint address="" binding="netTcpBinding"
            bindingConfiguration="netTcpBinding_IReportService" contract="ServiceReference.IReportService"
            name="netTcpBinding_IReportService">                
        </endpoint>

        <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding"
            bindingConfiguration="basicHttpBinding_IReportService" contract="ServiceReference.IReportService"
            name="basicHttpBinding_IReportService">                
        </endpoint>
    </client>

Then we should mention the binding name while we are referring

      ServiceReference.ReportServiceClient client = new ServiceReference.ReportServiceClient(netTcpBinding_IReportService);

Now it will work with netTcpBinding

Yes you can. You need to configure your behaviors and, in service tag, configure each behavior, like this:

<service 
    name="Microsoft.ServiceModel.Samples.CalculatorService"
    behaviorConfiguration="CalculatorServiceBehavior">
  <!-- First behavior:
       http://localhost/servicemodelsamples/service.svc  -->
  <endpoint address=""
            binding="basicHttpBinding"
            contract="Microsoft.ServiceModel.Samples.ICalculator" />
  <!-- Second behavior, with secure endpoint exposed at {base address}/secure:
       http://localhost/servicemodelsamples/service.svc/secure -->
  <endpoint address="secure"
            binding="wsHttpBinding"
            contract="Microsoft.ServiceModel.Samples.ICalculator" />
</service>

The same service for ICalcular, for two different behaviors.
