Yes. If your actions are damaging to DNA and mutagenic e.g. smoking. The damage done to the DNA can then lead to cancer
Your actions can also have an effect at the epigenetic level, and thus affect the expression of different genes. Diet and exercise are just two examples of lifestyle choices that can do this.
