Usually depends on the company. Some larger ones will simply say "Sorry, someone else got it.". Some companies will tell you if you ask nicely.
"Just wanted to know what I could do different next time." If the hiring manager is not too busy, they should be able to give you something.

If you need CV writing advice, im happy to give it for free.
Just curious Deano (I'm assuming you hire people) as unfortunately I got a letter today saying that I was unsuccessful in getting a position I had interviewed for last week If I were to call or email the interviewer would they be able to say what it was that I did/didn't do that prevented me from getting hired? Is this something you've had asked of you too?
A quick tip that I've found helpful in the past; when you get to the end of the interview, the interviewer will almost always ask if you have any questions for them.
An excellent question to ask is: "Do you feel that I am the right person for the job?". This will give you some instant feedback as to whether you're likely to get the job or not; and if the interviewer feels you've got some weaknesses to address, this gives you the opportunity to profess how keen you are to learn, etc...
As a contractor, I've probably had more job interviews than most, and that one question has served me extremely well over the years.
