Like what the first post said, "shall" is a polite way of offering to do something. However, "can" is grammatically incorrect when used as a way to ask for permission, though it is common in everyday speech. "Can" is used to ask if you're capable of doing something. Eg. "Can humans fly?" "No, not without aeroplanes." "Can humans live forever?" "No, we can't." "Can I carry your bag?" "Sure, if you have an arm and if you're strong enough." "May" is used to request permission in a polite manner. Eg. "Teacher, may I go to the loo?" "May I call you at 12pm?" "May I have some of the cake?" Since "shall" is a polite way of offering to do something, "shall I carry your bag?" is the grammatically correct sentence.
