According to Christianity - no. According to Judaism - yes.
Judaism does not proselytize or seek converts, but it does accept sincere converts.
Conversion is a life-changing and very serious undertaking and a potential convert should think it over carefully. It must not be done on a whim or because of temporary circumstances. One who converts is expected (from then on) to live as a Jew.
The first step would be, without outside help or influence, to get to know about Judaism. The person who felt interested should hang around a Jewish community in order to get a sense of whether Jews and Judaism as it is actually lived appeal to him/her. Also to do some reading. English-language books on Jewish thought and life can be found in Hebrew bookstores.
After that, the interested person would approach a Rabbi and ask about enrolling in a relevant formal course of study. This can last for several years and is an integral part of the process, since he/she will have to actually practice the religion.
Once that is completed, the convert immerses in a mikveh (ritual immersion); and, for uncircumcised males, undergoes circumcision.

Can a Hindu practice Judaism?
Anyone can attempt to follow Jewish tradition, but to truly practice Judaism, a person must be accepted as part of a Jewish community, and that involves conversion. Someone from a Hindu background who is accepted as a convert is no longer a Hindu, just as someone from a Christian background who is accepted as a convert is no longer a Christian. Once a conversion is complete, the convert is a Jew, who, it is hoped, will practice Judaism.

How do you get saved if you are Jewish?
"get saved" is a Christian term and concept and does not apply to Judaism. The reason being that the Christian concepts of 'sin' and hell do not exist in Judaism. There is nothing to be saved from. Therefore, if a Jew were to "get saved" in the traditional Christian theological thought, they would have to convert to Christianity and ask for forgiveness of sins, be baptised and ask Jesus to be their Lord and savior.
