Yes, a Permanent Deacon can become a Priest, but this typically requires a special dispensation from the Church. In the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church, Permanent Deacons are usually married and may need to seek permission from their bishop to pursue ordination as a Priest, which usually involves celibacy. Additionally, they would need to complete the necessary theological education and formation required for priestly ordination.

What does deacon mean?
The term deacon comes from the Greek word "diaconos" which means a servant. However, in the Christian Church, the term is mainly used to describe a man who is training to become a priest, and is the first 'order' of clergy before being made a priest, but he can also remain a deacon without later becoming a priest. The three levels or 'orders' of ordination are deacon, priest, and bishop. In most cases, a deacon acts as an assistant to a priest.
Can a deacon be a father?
That depends on whether or not the deacon is a permanent deacon. Permanent deacons are individuals who are ordained to assist the priest at mass and in ministry, but is limited in ability to confer the sacraments. Permanent deacons may be married prior to becoming a deacon, but may not marry after becoming a permanent deacon (without special dispensation, that is). A married individual has to be 35 years of age before becoming a deacon, by which time many already have children. There are no restrictions on having children after ordination. Seminarians who are in the last year or so of their training are ordained as deacons, but are required to remain celibate, and can therefore not become literal fathers. If the question was instead referring to the practice of referring to ordained men as "father" then the answer for this is "no." Deacons are referred to most often and properly as "deacon."
What is a deacon?
A deacon is the first of the major Orders: Deacon, Priest, and Bishop. Every priest is first ordained a deacon, usually the year before his ordination to the priesthood. Nowadays, there are permanent deacons who do not go on to the priesthood. A deacon, either the transitional deacon (the first) or the permanent deacon (the second) are required to make a vow of lifelong celibacy, which means that they will never marry (note: permanent deacons may be married when they are ordained, but if anything happens to their wife, they may not remarry.) Deacons may baptize and witness marriages, they are authorized to proclaim the Gospel at Mass, and they may preach. A deacon wears a stole but instead of around his shoulders, he wears it over one shoulder and then crossed across his chest and back, and tied low down on the side.
In the Catholic church there are two kinds of deacons- what are they?
The two kinds of deacons (they are not really different "kinds") are transitional and permanent. A transitional deacon is a man who is ordained deacon while on his way to being ordained a priest, a permanent deacon remains a deacon. The later may be married when they are ordained. Neither may marry after ordination.
