By rust I am assuming that you are talking about the frame and not the panel areas of the roof, in which case no you can't. At least not without adding a full chassis. The roof is a major structural element of the chassis and without it, at best your doors won't shut and at worst you car will fold up.
If it is just the skin you want to cut, then you shouldn't have any problems.

You will need to fit a full cage to do the targa top. If the rust is that bad go find another wrecked Celica and cut the roof off. From what I have seen, Celicas dont commonly have rust in the roof unless it had vinyl lining.

You could make it a Targa but it would be more work than making it a convertable. Unless you are super keen, I would be repairing whats there. I guess you could remove the gutter easy enough but be prepared to get wet.
