The short answer is no. You should never attempt to fire any cartridge in a gun other than what it is designed for.

The longer answer is, you may possibly be able to get a .22 cartridge to fire from a 9mm, but it could damage the gun or the person shooting it.

What caliber is the caliber of a 9mm?

Everybody calls it a 9mm and if somebody asks you what "caliber" that pistol is, you can answer "It's a 9mm" without having to add or explain anything. further improve: 9mm is the correct answer. you can find the caliber by measuring the diameter of the bullet. translate to millimeters or inches and that's the caliber. 9mm is a 9mm caliber not "around .36"
