Yes, its possible and assuming that you are using J2ME, you should be able to use the in-built Messaging classes to send/receive the text messages.

As for encrypting, process the text as you would a normal String. For example, if you decide to use ROT13 encryption, you could take the text char by char and increment each by 13. Then after the encryption is done, just set the message load to the text you just processed, and then use the in-built functions of the Messaging classes of J2ME.

EDIT

More resources about sending/receiving SMS, encyption algorithms and J2ME development as have been requested are provided below. And you may want to take a look at Oracle J2ME Docs also.
