Yes. But if the solvent is not available, you will need to create a
solvent box unit. For instance, Amber provides an 8M urea solvent box (of
course it is still aqueous, but it's not pure water). There is also a
methyl-chloride box available, methyl alcohol, and an N-methyl acetamide
box available (look in the $AMBERHOME/dat/leap/lib folder).

and is it possible to fix number of solvent molecules during

No. You can, however, adjust the buffer size to get as close as possible
to the desired number of solvent molecules and then use parmed.py (or
xparmed.py) to strip off the extras that you don't want.

HTH,
