Retrieving Field Level Securities of a profile in a query

Is it possible to query the field level securities associated with a profile?

Please let me know

Profile settings is a Metadata. So you cannot query it. However you can get this metadata programmatically.

You don't need to query the profile if you're just checking to see if the current user has field-level permission.

Take this example:
  
Account.SObjectType.getDescribe().isCreateable();

This tells you true if the current user has the ability to create accounts.

For field-level:
  
Account.SObjectType.getDescribe().fields.getMap().get('My_Field__c').getDescribe().isCreateable();

This tells you whether the "My_Field__c" field on the Account is createable for the current user.

Hope that helps.
