Technically yes. But it really would be a waste. Generally superchargers are used when you don't have room for a turbo or because of cost. Todays turbos can match the low RPM performance of root style superchargers and centrifugal superchargers can't really compare to turbo performance. So while you could put on a supercharger and turbocharger, there really isn't much of a point. The money would be much better spent on a nice dual turbo setup.

Is every engine fit with turbocharger?

No. There are two types of charger to give the engine more air than it would be able to suck in naturally; a Supercharger and a Turbocharger. The supercharger is an electrically (usually) driven fan that compresses the air. A turbocharger does the same job, but it is driven by the flow of exhaust gases through a small turbine. Thus the turbocharger has a small lag time, for it depends upon engine speed for its performance. Whereas a supercharger is independent of the engine operation. Of course, many motors manage quite well without either accessory.
