Maybe, but probably not. 120v and 240v plug ends are designed differently on purpose to prevent this. If the appliance or item in question is designed to operate on 240 volts, you will have to provide it with a 240 volt receptacle. If you look at the item's nameplate (where model number, wattage, etc is found) it may list more than one voltage i.e. 120/240. This means you would be able to operate the unit on either voltage, provided you are using the proper plug.
