No you can not.
Cable modems use RF or Radio Frequency to transmit data, usually converting that RF frequency into fiber optic via a node.
DSL or Digital Subscriber lines use electricity like a phone line.
You could also say Cable modems use coaxial cable and DSL use telephone wire.
The two modems are not interchangeable.
