Standard security restrictions in browsers prevent the accessing of the DOM of a page loaded from a different origin, so in general: No.

With the cooperation of the other site, you can pass messages using postMessage and respond to them using JS loaded by the other site.

With the cooperation of the user, you can write a browser extensions that isn't subject to the usual security restrictions.
