Sure,

All modern small scripting languages are made with provisions in mind to
- extend the language with C code
- embed the language in C code
Start from the examples in the Ruby book:

http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ruby-doc-bundle/ProgrammingRuby/book/ext_ruby.html#S6


Also, note that you can use rubyscript2exe library to convert ruby apps  
into a self-extracting EXE that contains Ruby interpreter.
