Is it possible to install two GfCI Breakers on 3 Wire circuit with a shared neutral. I need to protect the normal receptacles downstream from the GFCI breakers

A GFCI breaker protects everything on that circuit. Do you mean GFI outlets?
GFI outlets can be wired to protect themselves only or themselves and everything down stream.

You must use a two-pole GFI breaker for this.

Stanforty, couldn't they use a 2 pole breaker and where the 2 circuits split, use GFI Recepticles at the start of each circuit, and each have their own neutral from there.

Oh definitely.
I just answered the question as it was asked. There are several other options.
