Yes you can use coconut oil or vaseline or any water based lubricant to have anal sex. But kindly be careful while having anal sex as it can cause hemorrhoids, anal fissure, trauma to penis and STDs such as HIV. So be very careful, if you develop any difficulty visit the ER at the earliest.

Yes coconut oil and Vaseline are good alternatives for abal sex but they can be messy
Try water based lubes as they evaporate and are less messy. KY jelly is a great brand you can try others too.
Next Steps
Be careful with your partner as anal sex is prone to transmit HIV if partner is infected
