If I have 3^2, is there any way to make it display in a cell as 3² ?
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Enter (or change to )32 and make the font for "2" a superscript? Cell format has to be text though.

If it's just for Displaying purpose Microns answer will do what you need.

But for calculation it's not possible since the syntax is and will always be "=3^2"

I would include this one as being possible using that simple example, but likely not worth the effort. However, I would not want to try to code to calculate something with other operators, like
