I have a disk that was a Time Machine backup for some photo files. I now want to use that disk as a regular disk. Can I do that without erasing the photo files?

Yes, you can store other files on a volume that is also being used as a TM backup.
Though make sure you've got a backup for those files somewhere else. ;-)
