Strictly, no, I'm afraid.
Officially you're not allowed, but it may vary from church to church - why don't you ask your local priest/vicar. They may be prepared to make an allowance. If it's a long term bond with Christianity you're after, then why don't you ask for a baptisment? Of course, you have to be fully comitted for that.

From Catholic.com:A non-Catholic may not receive Communion. Actually, not all Catholics may receive Communion. Only those who are in a state of grace can receive the Eucharist.

Unfortunately, Catholic and non-Catholic Christians still do not share such unity. At present, the mutual reception of Communion by Catholics and non-Catholics would not be an honest sign.
