It can be done but its allot of work, and it depends on how much room above the doors you have aswell but if your having the loft converted with a new roof then maybe think about lifting the roof up that bit extra

Not without a lot of work.Pretty pointless exercise in my opinion.

Yes you can- we have done this in situations in the past where space is particularly tight in the loft. You could also consider just lowering part of the room- for instance if you are converting in a typical Victorian terrace there is often not much point lowering the ceiling in the front half which is generally all under the eaves.
