Of course you can, but both should be INSTEAD OF triggers.
To distinguish which records are deleted, and which is updated you must use INSERTED and DELETED pseudo tables.
All records that are in both tables are updated, all record that are only in DELETED table are deleted.

The only thing normal about database guys is their tables.
