    Are you asking permission?

    If not, then "can" is proper. You're asking what you are able to do.

    May only implies permission or asking for permission.

    You're welcome.

    Wrong.
    "may" be used to imply possibility.

    e.g. I may go to the beach today.

    or in conditional clauses

    e.g. I may be wrong but I think Suzianne will be upset with me correcting her.
