When you buy a share of stock, you are actually buying a share in the company, so NO its not an easy process and you can't buy "directly" from the company. It would be kinda like trying to buy a Coke directly from the Coca-Cola company- not gonna happen.
There are ways you can buy stock for someone else, but you would have to find out from the company's transfer agent (the broker who transfers share of stock to the buy) for details. You can find a company's transfer agent by calling the company direct and asking, "who is your transfer agent". Company phone numbers are easy to find on YAHOO! Finance:
