Not unless you like the idea of destroying your AC system.
R502 is a refrigerant blend that contains R22 and R115, and it is considered a substitute for R12 in certain applications. While R502 can be used in systems designed for R12, compatibility depends on the specific system components and conditions. It's essential to check the manufacturer's guidelines and consider factors like oil compatibility and system pressure before making a switch. However, due to environmental regulations, R502 is also being phased out, similar to R12.
If a technician discovers that R502 was added to an R22 system, he should first isolate the system to prevent further contamination. Next, he should recover the mixed refrigerant using a certified recovery machine and dispose of it according to environmental regulations. After that, the technician should thoroughly evacuate and vacuum the system before recharging it with the appropriate R22 refrigerant. Finally, he should conduct a pressure and leak test to ensure the system is functioning correctly and safely.

No, you should not mix R22 and R22a refrigerants together. Mixing different refrigerants can lead to system inefficiency, reduced cooling capacity, and potential damage to the equipment. It is important to use the correct refrigerant specified by the manufacturer for your system.
