Of course. In fact, in order to have constant velocity, it must have constant speed.
What you really want to know: Can a body have changing velocity when it has constant speed ?
The answer to that one is also "yes", for example when it is moving in a circle, the speed is constant but the velocity is changing all the time (in direction).

Can a body have a varying speed if its velocity constantif yes?
No, because constant velocity means constant speed and constant direction
Can a body have constant velocity but changing speed?
No, not at all possible. But constant speed with changing velocity is possible.
Can a velocity of a body change its speed is constant?
No. A body with constant velocity is either stationary or going at constant speed in a constant direction. The usual interpretation of speed and velocity goes like this. A velocity is a vector with magnitude and direction. The magnitude is usually called its speed. Changing a speed must change the length of the vector and changing the length of the velocity vector has to change the velocity.
Can speed of a body change if its velocity is constant?
No. A body with constant velocity is either stationary or going at constant speed in a constant direction. The usual interpretation of speed and velocity goes like this. A velocity is a vector with magnitude and direction. The magnitude is usually called its speed. Changing a speed must change the length of the vector and changing the length of the velocity vector has to change the velocity.
Can a body have a constant velocity but varying speed?
No. If the speed varies, the body accelerates, and velocity cannot be constant.
Can an object have constant velocity and but variable speed?
No. Velocity has two parts, speed and direction A constant velocity means that both the speed and the direction must be constant. So a constant velocity must have a constant speed.
Can a body have constant velocity and changing speed?
No, in order for the velocity to be constant, the speed has to be constant. Speed is a scalar, meaning that it is just a number. (A car goes 50 miles per hour). Velocity is a vector, which indicates that it needs a measure of its displacement and a direction. (A car is going 50 mph to the east). A body can have a constant speed but a changing velocity because the direction can change while the speed is constant. (A car goes 50 mph around a roundabout). However, a body can not have a constant velocity with a changing speed. A car can not be slowing down yet still be going the same speed and direction.
If you have a constant velocity do you have to have a constant speed?
Yes, speed is the scalar of velocity.
Can the speed of a body vary with its velocity constant?
No but converse may happen.
When constant force is applied to a body then it does it moves with uniform speed?
velocity
Is constant speed constant velocity?
No. Velocity includes a direction vector, which speed does not have.
What does mean the velocity remains constant?
there is no acceleration if the body is moving with constant velocity
