You can apply for your SSN before getting your EAD.

In both cases, your SSN will say not valid for work, unless DHS authorized or something to that effect.

Once you get your GC, you can get the SSN to remove that restriction on the card.

I'm assuming you don't have K-1 status and in that case the answer is probably no. Need to know your current status to be certain.
