Is it possible to create task that would be able to create new profile?
I want to create some sort of advanced reminder.

I haven't seen a way to create (or edit) a profile, no.
However, you might be able to do what you want by using a variable for the time value in a profile's time context trigger, like so:

You click the icon with the crossed arrows at the left to switch between a variable and a constant time value for the "from" & "to" settings. The variable should be in "HH:mm" format (24-hour hour, a colon, and then minutes).

Although a similar scheme doesn't exist for a day or date context (e.g. to fire every Wednesday or Thursday depending on the value of a variable), you can get the same result by testing for the desired day/date as the first step in the Task associated with the profile.

I am not sure about creating profiles, but you could turn a profile on and off with Profile Status action. And using the above tip, set and use variables in the profiles and related tasks to do some of your "advanced" stuff. There are some profiles I turn on each time I plug in my phone, then I turn those profiles off when I unplug.

Just to clarify that a bit. You would want to use a global variable for a time context. So %Reminder_time  would be needed. Unless you declare a profile or project variable, wich is a bit more advanced. See the user guide under Variables.
