It's quite possible, probably using some scripting language, but you'll most probably run into an small issue.
If you notice, most registration, contacts, etc. forms online now include a "human check" which makes sure that the form is being filled out by a human being. Most of the time you will be forced to type in some characters that are obfuscated in an image; something which a computer cannot interpret.
If you try to automate the form fill-in process you will run into these checks and your submission will fail.
The inclusion of these small checks are an anti-spam method, to avoid an automated app from filling in thousands of registration forms on websites.
