Yes, you can. Double-click on the cell to switch to edit mode (or press 
F2, for those preferring the keyboard), position cursor where you want 
to add text, right-click (or Edit menu) > Paste. This also pastes as 
unformatted, so you don't even need faff around changing the font if the 
cell is already formatted as you want it.

If I've understood correctly, I think that routine could be:
- Pay credit card on line
- Copy verification number from web site
- Double-click on cell where verification number will be appended to 
description (or click in the input line if you prefer, but then you have 
to use Edit > Paste since there is no right-click menu)
- Position cursor at the end of the existing content (or wherever you 
want it)
- Right click and paste
