No. Any connections to the detached garage have to be after the main disconnect of your house panel.

You have two options here. You can replace meter with a meter disconnect combo and have the main feed your house and add a breaker to feed the garage or You could install a 400 ap service and place two disconnects at the meter. one for the house and one for the garage.

unless you are going to have a serious electrial load in the garage you sould just feed off the panel in the house for cost effectiveness.
