Common thought says no to your question. Although some have proposed and tested the possibility of injecting water into a fault in the hopes that it would act as a lubricant to promote movement and therefore reduce the buildup of pressure. I haven't heard or read any writings on this subject. You're not a terrorist, are you?

im reading a book called the hammer of eden, where they actually do cause earthquakes with a seismic vibrator...i don't know if it's actually possible though in real life ;)

Possible and has happened by accident. I can't recall which Nordic country it was, but there was some research conducted on water injected geothermal electrical generation. They drilled a series of three test wells into hot rock, fractured that rock between wells, injected water via the central well and extracted the heated water from both side wells. The rock fracturing and ensuing steam created by the water injection caused the rock strata to move. A nearby town suffered minor damage due to minor tremors. So yes...possible and happened by accident.

Allegedly when You make big holes underground (called mines) that can allow rock to move somewhere, this can turn into an earthquake. . http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/01/070103-mine-quake.html
