You certainly can:

$ svn propset my-own-tag-name some-value thisfile
$ svn propset another-name value2 thatfile
$ svn commit -m "set some properties"

Properties are quite orthogonal to branches and tags, so I'm not sure how
they apply to your question. I suspect that you may have a disconnect on how
branches and tags work within Subversion. The simple answer is that SVN
doesn't have branches and tags. You just make (cheap) copies inside your
repository. If you further edit the copy, it's a branch. If you never make
edits, then it's a tag :-)
