Roman Catholics, or Latin-Rite Catholics, are certainly free to attend Mass and receive Holy Communion, as well as to go to confession, at a Catholic church of another rite, and vise versa. But actually joining a parish of a different rite is another matter. In order to become a parishioner at a Catholic church of another rite, it is necessary first to become a member of that rite. This is possible, but usually it requires obtaining permission from Rome. To answer your question, though, yes, a Catholic can switch Rites within the Catholic Church.
