Can I DL and Squat If I Can't Touch My Toes?

Is it possible to deadlift and squat with proper form if you cannot touch your toes? I keep straining my back muscles even on fairly light weights (less than my bodyweight). I know it's because my back rounds at the bottom of the lifts. My posterior chain is extremely tight -- I can only reach about halfway down my shins (about six inches above my toes). Do I need to quit these lifts until I can touch my toes?
