※The use of 'Can I' and 'Can you' in informal english to make a request or ask for permission is grammatically wrong, because the correct use of the modal verb 'can' is to express 'ability'.
※That is why in correct formal English, it is better to avoid 'can' for requests and permission. Use 'May I' or 'Could I', and 'Could you'.
