The potential is definitely there as presented in the Monster Manual: Animated Objects: "...Some animated objects (including many of those created in the Feywild) might converse fluently or adopt a persona, but most are simple automatons."
How you go about it looks like a GM call, as I can't find anything in the spell rule.
Yeah, those ones in the MM are specially created, possibly awakened, permanently animated objects. You would have to ask your DM. Most DMs will give you a different answer, and the ones that all give the same answer, that answer will be that you, as a player, with a normal PC, cannot.
On Animate Objects, let's say you attack with tiny objects (+8) and you have a modifier of +5, spell attack of +12, proficiency of +5 and a spell DC of 20. You roll 10D20. What do you add to this roll for the attack? Let's say you roll a 10, would the attack be 10+12+8=30? or could it be 10+8+5=23?
