can I check if someone has been access to my computer without my permission

the computer is working, but not connected to a working network. have my own email address and access to the internet. I have a password for the connection, but a few people in the office to know it. How can I check whether a person has opened my computer for a period of time when I'm not in. is it possible?

It is possible, but you must first enable auditing of connection events.  This is only possible on XP Pro.  You can then check that and this connected using (start-> Run-> "eventvwr.msc") event viewer to inspect the security log.

For instructions on how to configure auditing,
Start-> Help and Support
and then type in "edit local security settings" in the "Search" window

Moreover,.
Control Panel-> administration-> local security policy tools.
and local policies-> Audit policy
