Ive bought a new mobo for my i7 4770k (it's a long story). Can I take the cpu off the old motherboard (and on the new one) without removing the cooler? I don't want to go through the whole removing old cooler paste and applying new paste etc. Is that possible?

No, you must remove the cooler.
There is no way to undo the latching mechanism with the cooler still in place.
