Im pretty sure you can. Basicly every paint like program can be used.

The only problem is it doesn't support many picture types. I think you need to change skins to jpeg for them to open.

Skinns (well what I know...) can be made in many programs...
but I think the quality is veary different depending on whitch program you are using...

You're no Red, so don't bother trying to use Ms Paint, use Photoshop.

MasterofDisaster,
you can use any program you want to actually draw what you will see of the skin in game, but you need a program like photoshop to convert it to 32bit. MS paint only saves in 24bit. 32bit is like a hidden layer in grayscale. It's used to decide which part of the skin is totally invisible\partially visible etc. Warcraft III viewer can add a blank version of this layer to a regular JPEG, but i don't think that usually makes it works for warcraft

To make the story short you gotta find a program that can open\edit\save in 32bit. TGA and BLP files can be saved in 32 bit, but a TGA can also be in 24 so you gotta check
