No, you cannot begin driving at the age of 14 in Canton Ohio. According to the Ohio law that the minimum age to begin driving legally is when you are fifteen years and six months year of age. In Ohio you can get a temporary permit if you are at least 15 years and 6 months of age so at the age of 14 you would be too young to get your temporary permit and be able to operate a car legally with a supervising adult driver.
So while you may want to begin to learn to operate a vehicle at the early age of fourteen doing so could get yourself and the owner of the vehicle you are driving cited by law enforcement officer and severe penalties. When you are old enough to operate a vehicle and have your permit or license then your parents will need to notify their insurance provider to be certain that you are properly covered by their car insurance policy
