Just like in supersonic motion, the object that creates the sound can move faster than the waves it produces, is it possible for the E-field or B-field that make up light to move faster than the light?

The light (i.e., the electromagnetic wave) *is* the E- and B-fields. So the answer to your question is trivially "no"; something cannot travel faster than itself.

But perhaps you mean to ask whether a source of light can travel faster than the speed of that light *in that medium*. So, for instance, can an underwater light source travel faster than *the speed of light in water*. Yes. That's perfectly fine. That particular question is commonly asked and a common example of this phenomenon (called *Cherenkov radiation*) is seen in the typical blue-ish glow of underwater nuclear reactors.
