With Steam, yes i think you can. But with Origin It's going to be tricky. Origin is pig to understand and make it work properly. So I'd just download it if it's on Origin.

If it's with Steam, place it in the "SteamApps" folder and point to it's location with in Steam.

If it's a steam game then yes you can just copy it over and steam will download what is missing from the files and as Craig- said make sure to put it in the SteamApps folder.
