Can I call the judge or his probation officer about bond?
I called his lawyer for him, he said he doesn't represent him anymore. So therefore he represents himself. Would I be allowed to call the judge or his probation officer, and ask them if he can get a bond or if he was to pay his fine if he could be released?

Call the judge's secretary.

Call the judge's secretary. Usually they can guide you as to the best course of action, plus they have the judge's ear.
