Im sure I saw a post on YouTube of someone who had taught their beardie to sit. So you might be able to teach them stuff.

I don't know about teaching them to sit - that was probably just some lucky camera work

You can "encourage" them to come onto your hand if you lead them there with food. Do that enough times and they may start doing it of their own accord. As juveniles they quickly learn to associate things with food - the sight of a small plastic dusting bag sends a lot of mine pretty crazy, so they do have the capacity to learn things, but it's got to be in relation to something that they want (which is usually food).
