the humbucker is a type of pickup(pay attention EVERY guitarist MUST know this) the humbucker makes a thicker punchier sound this pickup is great for rock to deathcore genres. the other type is called a single coil pickup and this gives a pure soft tone its great for slide guitar and blues and stuff like that(they are common on fender Guitars) the single coil will also give you that chili pepper sound while the humbucker will give you stuff like system of a down, velvet revolver, and wolfmother. les pauls sgs explorers icemen warlocks basically everything but fender guitars without speaking of fat strats, jags, and deluxe teles.

Can you put Seymour duncan alnicopro 2 humbuckers on a squier bullet stratocaster?

Yes it is possible to do so. There are a few ways of achieving this, the easiest way being to buy a new pickguard routed for humbuckers (either Humbucker-Humbucker or Humbucker-Single-Humbucker). A good place a new pickguard to get on is on guitarfetish.com. An other way is to route your current pickguard, but do not recommend this as it is much more risky. I also recommend getting the wireing done by a professional if you do not have experience in the domain. Nevertheless, the wireing diagrams can be found on seymourduncan.com .
