No it is not, for security reasons, though It is somewhat unsafe to do this and rarely would it be necessary for you to do this.
There is a Source property, however, it cannot be written in game; only by the command bar / other elevated security contexts.
. If you need to accomplish something similar, though, you can use loadstring which turns a string into a function which could be run.
A common way of overcoming this is cloning a Script/LocalScript with these contents:
loadstring(script.Code.Value)();
(Where Code is a StringValue inside of the Script/LocalScript).
