Pentax screwmount lenses (M42) will fit differently branded cameras with the same mount. It will easily fit other camera mounts including digital bodies using a cheap adapter. Just make sure you use the correct version of the adapter that focuses correctly to infinity.
With Pentax K-mount lenses, there are existing adapters that will mount these to a four/thirds system camera, the Canon EF EOS, the Minolta MA or Sony Alpha and the Leica M39 screw mount.
Take note that in most digital bodies, the lens can only be used at manual mode. Some camera models will not meter through it even at stop down. Pentax dSLR bodies will meter through them and add Shake Reduction and focus confirmation even if the lens is full manual.

Turn the camera over. There's a little button on the bottom somewhere. It releases the gears in the takeup spool; push it and you can rewind the film with the film crank.

What does 55mm camera mean?
The question likely pertains to 55mm as a lens focal length, and does not relate to any type of camera. Another use for numbers like 55mm in connection with a lens is to designate the thread size of the filters and lens caps that lenses require. For the interchangeable lenses used on 35mm SLR cameras, those sizes commonly run from 49mm to 72mm. Cameras are designated by film size or by type. Some common camera designations are 35mm; SLR; rangefinder; digital; point-and-shoot; medium format; view camera; press camera (various types); TLR twin lens reflex) -- there are others. If there is a "55mm"camera, I haven't encountered it.

Is A3000 Pentax Lens Compatible with a K200D camera?
All Pentax DSLRs are compatible with all K-mount Pentax lenses, which is to say all of them back to the 1970s or thereabouts. I routinely use a f1.2 50mm lens from a K1000 on my K10D. The A3000 had shutter-preferred capability, so your K200D should operate the aperture in the lens. Obviously many features, such as autofocus, will not function since the lens does not have the autofocus motor. Keep in mind that your K200D viewfinder will not show the entire field of view on the shorter lenses, as it is set up to work with a sensor that is 1/3 smaller than a 35mm negative. This isn't really a problem. Telephoto lenses will work just fine.
