Can I put a helpToolTip on a button?

Consider what you need the button to do.  First and foremost, If the button generally does not take the user away from the current form, then a link may be more appropriate from a best-practices UX standpoint.  Links within Rich Text Components can have tooltips.

If the UX is complex enough to warrant specific explanation, an expandable section of text is far more desirable than a confirmation dialog. Confirmation dialogs bug the user every time the button is clicked, regardless of whether the user needs the information or not.  Reserve confirmation dialogs for when the user is executing something that is not easily undone.

If you really need to hack something together for a rare use case, then Rich Text Components can have a tooltip, link, and image in the same component.  I'm sure you could fake your user out into thinking he or she was clicking a button, when really he or she is clicking a image that is a link to submit the form.  There are huge maintainability and consistency issues with this approach, however.  Use it as a last resort, and even then give serious consideration into re-designing the UX.
