can you put limitations on your basic attributes?

You can do anything you want, or your GM allows.

Give an example of what you mean.

Yes, you can put limitations on basic attributes.
For example; you treat Strength as a leveled advantage that costs 10 points per level, you then apply the limitations and enhancements as you would normally for any other advantage.

IIRC there's some talk, either in GURPS Characters or (more likely) in GURPS Powers, about the problems this can cause, but it's not in principle a failed idea.
