I have a query...

Is it possible to generate a stable 5V @ 100mA DC voltage from the attached circuit without affecting its primary functionality?

NO.
By the way what is the purpose of that circuit. I do not see how it can be used. Besides blowing the fuse. Is it a fuse tester ?

would it be possible for you to explain why?

the circuit is a rotary dimmer for light circuits.

The way the circuit is drawn, with the line and neutral connections indicated, it does nothing because both line and neutral are directly connected to the light bulb. This almost certainly is an error, but it is a sloppy one and does not impress. Since AC line power is present, the obvious answer is to attach a small 5V power supply to the AC line. Also obviously not the answer, or the type of approach you were looking for, but GIGO. And there are two different ground symbols but nothing showing the relationship between the two. Think, redraw, try again and post a schematic that we can actually read.

What is the voltage across C4?

There is an error in the schematic as observed. There is an external 230Vac power supply external to the circuit as drawn with the
