Can I customize animations using IK of a character model?

I am not using baked animations, I want to use dynamic animations.
Does OGRE support this?

There's no support for IK in Ogre core library.
You can either use a physics library, or search for "Inverse Kinematics" in the forums.

I'm also working on a small IK library : EasyIK, but it's not yet ready for prime time..

Here is what it can do, at the moment :

I have a book called Character Animation with Direct3D.
It has some tutorials on IK. But you need to manipulate individual bones.
I wonder you can manipulate bones with OGRE, like applying quaternions on the bones

Yes, you can have full control for any bone. Search for the Kinect OpenNI OGRE example.
