You can't level down, no.
With group content though, there is a higher bracket. So say, if it's a level 21 "Heroic" mission that requires 2-4 people, you could still be level 25-26 and do it, still find it challenging, and still get xp, purely because that shit is almost never solo-able.
This is where alts come in, really. This is my roster:
As you can see, I have characters of varying levels, and will be levelling them up depending on how I feel. So if you're say, on Nar Shaddaa, which has a level range of 20-24, and you want help, all i'd do is log out of my level 30something Jedi Shadow, and log back in as someone else that's closer to you in level. So it IS doable.
