If you really want to treat each each score as a sample of N=1, and if you are willing to make assumptions about the parent population (such as its shape and variance), yes, but expect wide intervals and high p's. But that may not be what you really want to do, as has been assumed by those who have already responded. Or do you really want to put error bands about individual measurements, which is not an unreasonable thing to do?
