Think about it, if people could play PS3 games on a PS1 or PS2 then why not buy a ps1 for 5 dollars and play the ps3 games on it? To answer your question, no you can't but you can play PS2 games on your PS3 now sure about PS1 you might be able to.
You also can not purchase a new PS3 and play PS2 games on it and have not been able to for years. Only the old 4 USB port models could play PS2 games and then it was not every title game available back in 2006 0r 2007.
