Yes, a non-ionic substance can dissolve in water.
i.e HCl - it is known as hydrogen chloride before it is dissolved in water to form hydrochloric acid.
On a more generalised note, non-ionic substances tend to dissolve in water if they are polar or have a dipole-moment.

Why is water a versatile solvent?
Commonly describes as the "versatile solvent", water is a substance that can dissolve almost anything. Because of this, water in nature and in use is rarely pure, and may have some properties different from those in the laboratory. Salts such as sodium chloride dissolve in water by dissociating as each ion becomes surrounded (spherical shape) by the polar water molecules. This sphere of water molecules around each dissolved ion is called a hydration shell. Shielded by this shell of water molecules, the ions remain in solution because they are no longer affected by attractive forces from surrounding ions.
What determines whether a compound will dissolve in water?
Water is known as a very polar solvent. That is, the molecules have localized area of concentrated electrical charge. The oxygen atoms are regions of (-) charge and the hydrogen atoms are areas of (+) charge. These areas of localized charge want to interact with neighboring areas of opposite charge. So, oxygen atoms tend to form loose bonds with hydrogen atoms on other nearby water molecules. This lowers the energy of the entire system and therefore promotes stability. For this reason any compound that is able to mimic the tendency of a water molecule to interact with another water molecule will ensure that the compound will indeed enter into association with water (that is, dissolve). The occurrence of groups containing local charge on the solute molecule ensure its ability to dissolve in water. Specifically, polar groups such as OH, NH, CO are associated with the ability to dissolve in water. Certainly the occurrence of net charge (+/-) on a molecule that contains an ionizable group (COOH, NH2, PO4, etc) is a good indicator of water solubility.
It is logical to conclude that water can dissolve lemonade powder because the mix is?
Most people would conclude that water can dissolve lemonade powder because of one or more of these assumptions:It is designed and formulated to dissolve in water.The instructions for mixing it say that it will dissolve in water.It is mostly sugar and sugar, being fairly polar dissolves in water.Lemonade is expected to be mostly a solution.You have witnessed the same brand of lemonade mix dissolve in water before.
Does hydrophilic dissolve in waTER?
A hydrophilic substance will dissolve in water. A hydroPHOBIC substance will not.
What types of substances do not dissolve in water easily in water?
A non polar substance. This means that the substance does not form hydrogen bonds with the H2O. e.g. Oil Grease as well as most fats. Although vegetable oil molecules are smaller than water molecules therefore it can dissolve in water:)
How does water dissolve substance?

Is a substance does not dissolve in water is it a ionic polar or nonpolor?
Like dissolve likes, therefore since water is polar and it does not dissolve, the substance is nonpolar.
