Yes, in principle. Iron is higher in the electromotive series than lead; therefore, elemental iron can displace lead from its compounds. If the lead nitrate is in water solution and solid iron is introduced into the solution, reaction will normally occur at least until a coating of elemental lead has formed over all the iron surface that is in contact with the solution. This reaction may be slow, and if the solution is strongly concentrated in nitrate or contains other oxidizing agent(s), the reaction may not occur because of a phenomenon called "passivation" in which the iron is covered with an oxygen containing surface layer that blocks reaction.

no it doesn't because lead is lower than iron in the reactive list.
