No, you cannot. Firing ammunition other than what the firearm is chambered for is dangerous, and has the potential to result in injury or death.

A 9mm revolver that uses moon clips to hold the rounds is capable of firing .380 ammunition as well. Such a revolver headspaces the cartridges from the moon clip.
Non-moon clip 9mm revolvers cannot fire .380 as they headspace from the case mouth. A .380 round will slip further into the chamber when struck by the hammer and likely result in a failure to fire.

Can 380 ammo be used in 9mm?
No! Both of those cartridges are ACP where it uses the mouth of the case to establish proper head spacing and to prevent the round from dropping too far in to the barrel. The cases are of different lengths. 9mm is 19mm (.754in) and the 380 is .680 in. The 380 will drop in to a 9mm barrel, but would be dangerous to shoot. The action of a 380 will not close on a 9mm.
