Yes you can. In fact several Italian cakes call for olive oil. If you substitue olive oil for vegetable oil in a recipe that doesn't call for it, you will probably notice a change in flavor and you may or may not like it.

Yes, there are a number of substitution charts that you can find on the web that can tell you how much olive oil you need to replace the amount of butter in the cake. You can also find several olive oil cake recipes and I've used some Blood Orange Olive Oil to add a kick to chocolate cakes several times.

Should you use olive oil or vegetable oil instead of canola oil?

vegetable oil has a higher smoke point than olive oil but olive oil has better flavor. If you're frying for a significant amount of time use vege oil, if frying for a short amt of time you can use olive. If you're in the middle you can blend olive and vege to heighten your smoke point so the olive won't burn and still get the flavor

Yes, but it will probably clog your pores. Olive oil molecules are too big to fit in your pores, that's why it's better to use olive oil. Other oils you can use is jojoba oil and almond oil.
