Yes, the easiest way to do that (to my knowledge) would be to write a brief joint plugin which you can then send commands to via ROS
can i do this like they describe it in : http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?cat=guided_i&tut=guided_i5?
^ Yes, that's what you want to do.
there is also the ~/apply_joint_effort ros service mentioned in the ROS communication tutorial, though I've not tried it before: http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=ros_comm&cat=connect_ros
