No you can't. You can only drive it for 1 week max. With the "Smog" or "Repair" waiver. If you plan to drive it for more than 1 week, it's not possible. They give you a Day pass, few day pass and 1 week permit MAX. Depending on if you need to Smog, or car needs repairs or such incidents.
Without these permits you will get ticketed.
Or you must:
1. Pay registration renewal + Change of ownership.
2. (Seller of vehicle is responsible for smog in California) So, you should have gotten a smog paper with the car. If you didn't then you need to smog it.
3. Wait till tags come.
