Так!

Can you use "так!" to mean something like "it's so!" or "it is so!" or just plain old "yes" in Russian (I think this is so in Ukranian, remembering the Orange revolution...)?

For example, somthing like this:
-"Are you going to the market today?"
-Так.

or

-You didn't win the lottery!
-Так!

It will be better to use "это так" in your examples.

Even это так sounds unnatural to me.

As an answer. "Это так делается? Так.(или Не так)"

так meaning yes is not Russian it is Ukrainian.

"Так" with a certain intonation may mean "yes, continue"

студент: Сначала мы делаем это.
преподаватель: Так...
студент: А потом вот это.

Or if you are in disarray of what to do...

You are about to enter your car and suddenly a tree falls on top of it...
"так..."

Personally, I'd go with, "Ну что же..."

I had a professor once who often did this.
Когда-то у меня был профессор, который часта это делал.
