You can't do this in Query activity, however it is possible in AmpScript (e.g. in an email or CloudPage). You can a.o. fetch all leads where their region is set to 'west':

%%[ var @rs
Set @rs= RetrieveSalesforceObjects('Lead', 'Id, FirstName,LastName', 'region', '=', 'west')
]%%

If you really need to do this as part of an automation, you can use an SSJS activity. Even though SSJS doesn't have any functions for reading or writing objects in Core, you can reference AmpScript content block to execute above code, while wrapped in a Script Activity code. Adam Spriggs has a some guidance on this, here: Update Salesforce object with a Script Activity
