Just kidding. No. You can not sell your soul to the devil. That's simply a literary way of saying that you give up something worthwhile in the future (e.g., your 'soul') for an immediate benefit now.

It's possible the idea started with American bluesman Robert Johnson, who 'went down to the crossroads' to sell his soul to the Devil, in exchange for the skill to play the blues guitar and write songs.
