If you want to use Livecode, no.
You may register as an Apple Developer for free, but that only allows
you to run code on the simulator. If you want to put it on the iPad,
even if only yours, you must give Apple $100.
That said, if you're truly just writing scripts for yourself, you could
check out an app called "Codea", which lets you write programs in Lua,
and run them on your own device, and *only* your own device. The
downside, of course, being that you're not supposed to be able to get
them off the device in any way.
Obviously, jail-breaking your iPad gives you more flexibility...but then
you're running a non-sanctioned version of the OS, which means you're
waiting on someone else to provide a (non-supported) updated version of
the software.
Gotta love Apple. (It says so in the T's & C's.)

As I got an iPad 2, I wondered if I could script for my iPad...
It appears that I have to go by the App Store, even if I want to create
only for my iPad, unwilling to sell my production...
I find that the yearly $99 payment to Apple is a high price tag, only to
use a couple stacks ;-<
Is there a mean, besides jail-beaking my iPad???
