Sure, but then you will be a criminal. On top of that, you will get sued. Bad move.

No, you must contact the power company and have them do it.

What do you mean by "the main switch"? If this is just the breaker box in your house, that's one thing. But do not, under any circumstances, touch anything that belongs to them, including any lock. It could be very dangerous, and probably illegal.
