Is there a way to manage (create, update) annotations using the YouTube API?
I have a few hundred videos on YouTube that I would like to add annotations to.

The API provides the ability to retrieve feeds related to videos, users, and playlists. It also provides the ability to manipulate these feeds, such as creating new playlists, adding videos as favorites, and sending messsages. The API is also able to upload videos.
Yes, using the YouTube API does not incur any monetary cost for the entity calling the API. If you go over your quota an 403 Error will be returned by the API.
There's an existing feature request for API access to annotations tracked at https://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=558
I'd recommend "star"ing that feature request to be notified of any updates.
Update: It is possible to update InVideo programming annotations, but only those types. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqtuSRe3QLo

No, this is not supported.
The YouTube Data API v3 does allow you to create Invideo programming annotations and watermarks.
