As someone who, at one time, has had to ask for margarine instead of
butter in a restaurant, yes, you CAN ask for non-dairy foodstuffs and
be perfectly polite.  Restaurants are legally required to serve you
butter unless they specifically tell you otherwise or you specifically
ask for it.  I don't know if they're required to keep margarine on hand, but
I suspect most do.
