Sure, as long as he keeps it in his hand while fielding the ball.
Rule 7.05 states:
Each runner including the batter-runner may, without liability to be put out, advance-
(b) Three bases, if a fielder deliberately touches a fair ball with his cap, mask or any part of his uniform detached from its proper place on his person
(d) Two bases, if a fielder deliberately touches a thrown ball with his cap, mask or any part of his uniform detached from its proper place on his person
In other words, if a fielder intentionally touches a batted ball with his cap while it is in his hand, all runners, including the batter, advance three bases (ie, every runner on base scores) from where they were when the infraction occurs.

When does the official blow the play dead when a feilded ball in end zone is not downed?
If the ball is fielded in the end zone and the player does not wish to attempt a return, usually the player will "take a knee" to kill the play. The player could also simply run out of bounds in the end zone. Aside from that, the officials typically would not blow the play dead unless it was clear that all players on the field had essentially given up on the play and no effort was being made to advance the ball. But this would be entirely at the official's discretion.

Why are there signs that say no peppering at baseball fields?
Pepper was a warm-up game or an exercise played before a game to improve hand and eye coordination. A small group of fielders would toss a ball to a batter at close range and the batter would hit It back. The player that fielded the ball would quickly toss it back to be hit again. It was usually done around the side lines, and backstop area. Because of the potential rick of injury to a fan or other players it was banned from the ball fields.
