Yes, but not IN calibre. It is possible to write fully automated scripts to change metadata, convert, change cover or do other things, using the shell of your operating system, or in some programming language of your choice that supports regular expressions, with the help of the command line tools that comes with calibre.

It is usually MUCH more convenient to directly use the gui in calibre.
