No. If your host disabled all these functions, you can't use them. Period.
As suggested, get another host. If it's only for testing/education,
setting up your own server might be the best option.

Have a look at XAMPP or another one-shot installer, easier for beginners
than setting op Apache, MySQL and PHP yourself. Have a look at
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

I really would consider changing hosts if they strip down the
functionality like this.
