No, a car cannot be started using only its own battery if that battery is dead. There must be enough charge in the battery to allow the car's electrical systems to work.

A common way to overcome such a problem is to use jump leads to connect the car to another battery, which of course must not be another dead one.

Broken Alternator Belt Engine Operation

IF the battery still retains an adequate charge[at least 11- to 11 1/2 Volts] then you should be able to crank, start, and drive your vehicle.

However, keep in mind that several electrical devices [for example; starter, ignition system, computer, etc.] use electrical power and will discharge the battery, even while the engine is running when it doesn't have a drive belt for the alternator.

You need to get the alternator properly operating as soon as possible, or the discharge of the battery will eventually totally disable your vehicle.
