No you cannot increase the ram size without buying anymore.

As said it can be overclocked to make it work faster/more efficiently though.  Generally you need to buy good quality ram to be able to do this.   Try to get your timings as low as possible, though this may require a small voltage change depending on your ram.

If you do not understand what I have written, its probably best not to fiddle as you could either make your system unstable or fry your ram!

Though it does not increase your system RAM, increasing your virtual memory page file size could give your applications access to more (but much slower) "memory" on a your HD.
