Sure, if you have a class manager such as:

SootClassManager cm = new SootClassManager();

then simply doing something like

SootClass jls = cm.getClass("java.lang.String")
SootClass jlo = cm.getClass("java.lang.Object")

will load the classes for both java.lang.String and java.lang.Object
into memory.  Then you can use the getMethod() method to retrieve
individual methods and then you can build representations.  You should
look at examples that were included in the distribution, this should
give you an idea of how things are organized.
