Yes, you can use the WTP's StructuredDocument programmaticly to create
and edit the documents. It supports both it's own API as well as an
enhanced but compatible DOM Level 1 and partial Level 2 API interface.
I would recommend checking out the SourceEditing Unit Tests for seeing
how to create a StructuredDocument without loading a file.

2.x and 3.x have the ability to get the DOM from the StructuredDocument.
Actually all versions of WTP have this ability.
The source for the unit tests can be found in the Web Tools CVS
repository under
/cvsroot/webtools/sourceediting/tests
For there you can check out the
org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui.tests
org.eclipse.wst.xml.core.tests
org.eclipse.wst.sse.core.tests
org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui.tests
These should give you enough to get you going.
