Yes, you will always be able to negotiate. However, by listing your expected salary at a lower figure than you actually wanted, you've weakened your negotiating position somewhat. For example, if the range I am working with is 3,500 to 4,100 and your expected was 3,500 - and I shortlisted you - it was based off my premise that I factored in your qualifications + what you were willing to work for.
So if you come in and state you actually wanted 4,000+, when I'm only prepared to give leeway of up to 3,700, you've axed your position quite a bit.
