With few exceptions, no. Even with those exceptions, the cartridges are actually the same caliber, or a barrel change is required.
.357 Magnum revolvers can fire .38 Special cartridges, and .44 Magnum revolvers can fire .44 Special cartridges. This applies only to revolvers, and should never be done with semi automatics, lever action rifles, or any other type of firearm which has a headspaced chamber.
.40 S&W semi auto handguns can fire the .357 Sig (not the .357 Magnum) cartridge with a barrel change for the appropriate caliber.
.22 Long rifle firearms can fire .22 Long and .22 Short cartridges. The .22 LR, Long, and Short cartridges do not generate sufficient chamber to pose a threat to the firer, even with a headspaced chamber. However, it can only be used as a repeating firearm with a tubular magazine - a .22 Long Rifle box magazine cannot accommodate the shorter Long and Short cartridges. Other .22 calibers, such as the .22-250 or .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, are not compatible.
Firearms chambered in 5.56x45 or .223 Remington can sometimes fire the .22 Long Rifle cartridge with modification. Typically (as is often seen in AR-15 pattern rifles) the bolt carrier assembly will be replaced by a .22 Long Rifle firing assembly. Such kits are available for AR-15 pattern rifles and the Ruger Mini 14.

Can you use 223 and 762x39 in the same gun?
No, you cannot use .223 and 7.62x39 cartridges in the same gun, as they are different calibers with different case dimensions and specifications.

While some firearms are designed to be multi-caliber, they must be explicitly made for that purpose, typically involving interchangeable barrels or components. Always ensure you are using the correct ammunition for your specific firearm.
