Not in general - it's best to decide you don't need this :-) Some programs behave differently based on their name, but in C you can use argv[0] to get at that, bearing in mind it might not actually correspond to any filename at all. If you do get the original file (whether via /proc or argv[0] or ps or some other method), remember that on some systems it might have been renamed, moved, or even deleted, after the program started, and also that the user might have made a link, symbolic link, shortcut or whatever...
