yes its possible and there are many threads out there on how to do it. the basic idea though is that you get the day of the year then mod (%) 7 and that will give you a number between 1 and 7 which corresponds to the day of the week. from there you just need to know which day of the week the first day of the year was.

Edit: added script example.
