Can a non-christian receive the holy spirit?

No. In Scripture the Holy Spirit is received after a person has accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior. A good example is that of Cornelius and his household who received the Spirit after listening to Peter's message about Jesus. Acts 10:44-48, "44While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. 45The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. 46For they heard them speaking in tongues[b] and praising God. Then Peter said, 47"Can anyone keep these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have." 48So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days."
