without using the windows task scheduler is there a way to automatically run a task at a certain time using c#?

Yes, scheduling with your own program. but your program must always running.

You can do it, but it's not recommended. Usually people who want to do their own scheduling set up a Windows Service to do so. You can create one easily with Visual Studio in C#.
AFAIK .Net cannot interact with the Task Scheduler directly. There might be something in all those new Microsoft namespaces introduced in 3.0, but I know of one resource who's exposed the Task Manager to .Net for you already: http://www.mvps.org/emorcillo/en/code/shell/tasksched.shtml
