They can. Under certain circumstances.
It would be much easier if they were both chicks or younglings growing up together, as they will see one another as siblings.
Parrotlets are very territorial birds with a big attitude and tend to have "grumpy periods" on some days. A parrotlet can easily break the beak, leg or wing of a budgie. A broken wing can be repaired fine. But a broken leg or beak can make their life too difficult (bird legs are usually too thin to be repaired by a vet).
You can try having the parrotlet and budgie together in the same room under your supervision to see what happens. Keep your eye on the parrotlet for aggressive behaviour. Budgies themselves are not aggressive or territorial, so they will not attack.
If they don't seem to get along, buy separate cages, have one bird in each cage, then place the cages next to each other, forcing the two birds to be neighbours but out of each others reach. Over time they will learn to tolerate each other and may even be witnessed chirping at each other.
Once they seem to get along as neighbours, try again with them together.
If they are housed together, the cage should be relatively tall or wide, so there is plenty of space for them without any arguing over who gets to sit where. There should also be more than one feeding bowl, because remember it is the parrotlets nature to be territorial, they cannot help the way nature made them to be. You can domesticate and train a dog, but at the end of the day it will always still have the instincts of a wild fox/wolf.
Always keep a close eye on them when they are being taught to get along. If the budgie ends up being bullied, remove him/her from the parrotlet. Depressed birds will pull their own feathers out. If fighting takes place, protect the budgie, because it is the weaker and most defenceless one.
They can be taught to get along, but it will take time. It would be much easier if they were chicks growing up together.

Is there a difference between budgies and parakeets?
Baby parakeets are tiny and have very little feathers and are not ready to be adopted into a family unless the family has a lot of bird experience. The parakeet you probably want to adopt is a fledgling, which is kind of like a teenager. Fledgling parakeets have larger heads. Adult parakeets have thicker feathers. Adult parakeets have longer tails. Adult parakeets are larger. Fledgling parakeets have stripes on their whole head extending down to their eyes. The less stripes on its head the older it is. Fledgling parakeets have black eyes and as they usually get older they get a white circle around their eyes.
Are finches some kind of parakeet?
No. Finches and parakeets are both commonly kept as pets, but they are not closely related. There are many different species of finch and parakeet, but they are not the same thing. Finches are of the taxonomic order Passeriformes (perching birds) and parakeets are of the taxonomic order Psittaciformes (parrots).
Can two conures stay in one cage?
No this should never be done. Unless you have a huge aviary and i am talking like they have at zoos then each species should have its own cage. Also some species can never be caged with there own kind the small parrots called parrotlets will fight and kill another of its kind if it is same sex. So never cage two species of parrots in one cage
