You hover your mouse over gif1 and it changes to gif2.
Something like:
<img src="image1.gif"
onmouseover="this.src='image2.gif'"
onmouseout="this.src='image1.gif']
Is it possible on the Forum? My elementary-school level HTML knowledge wasn't enough to figure out even if that is possible here. Could it be done by css or Java? Any of those are usable or allowed here?
The forum uses BBCode, not HTML. BBCode doesn't let you do that sadly... I'm not sure if you could use some sort of link.

Most of forums can allow members to use html code, at least its in administration of them, but im not sure if it can be done on this forum and also if admins want to do it:)
Embedding html code or javascript code would be bad. Opens up for many exploits as well as the possibilty of drive-by downloads etc. The loss of mouse over animations is a small loss in comparision to the added security. So you got BB code and thats it.

If admins let using flash on forum, you can do it with flash buttons.

Flash is the spawn of the devil. It is evil I tell you. EEEEEEEVIL. *gets cruxifix, holy water, pepper, lead bullets and puts in a call to the Winchester brothers...*

We would get whinging about the size of flash signatures.

yeah but it's really not that hard to add more BB code.
For example this:
<img src="image1.gif"
onmouseover="this.src='image2.gif'"
onmouseout="this.src='image1.gif']
could be this:
[hover-img-url="<place original image here>] <place mouseover image url here> [/hover-img-url]
Seing as most people like to cut up their sigs in several areas to forward the viewers to different forumpages adding this functionality would spice up visual presentation.
Also, flash is awesome, and I don't see how hotlinking to an external flash source and presenting it on the forum can increase bandwidth.
