No, you cannot.
But the phrasal verb "take out" can be used if the preposition "of" is replaced with "from".
Incorrect: "I want to take out some coins of my purse."

thank you very much!
If I add 'from', than can I say like this?
-I want to take out this car from this picture book and play with it.
-I want to take out this car from picture book!
-take out it from drawer / take it out of drawer.

-I want to take out this car from this picture book and play with it.
-I want to take out this car from picture book!
-take out it from drawer / take it out of drawer.

When the object is a pronoun, "take it out" sounds much more natural than "take out it".
Also, you need a determiner (a, the, this, that, etc) or a possessive adjective (my, your, his, her, etc) before "picture book".
Otherwise, the sentences seem fine.

I'd go with the first sentence as it sounds a little more natural.
