I would like to install Linux (Ubuntu) on a Flash disk with NTFS partition and boot from flash disk, is it possible?
If yes, how could I do this?

I think unetbootin does the job (installing ubuntu live cd on flash disk). You will probably have to install Grub on it too. NTFS doesn't work very well with linux's file permission, you need a filesystem container (usually squashfs correct me if I'm wrong) that has a linux fs inside of your NTFS partition. | ||||

To install linux on a flash disk, I assume you want either How-To-Geek's Create a Bootable Linux Flash Drive or Create a Persistent One. From experience I know linux doesn't play very nice with NTFS, though it is possible. If memory serves, permissions on linux don't apply right on NTFS yet. Hope that helps! | |||

You should be able to use the Ubuntu Windows Installer to install Ubuntu to a filesystem in a file on top of NTFS, however you will likely have to install grub manually and configure it to use the filesystem file. UWI uses Wubi, so there is probably more informaiton out there. | |||
