The short answer is "No".
There are a lot of parts to doing it you have to think about rear triangle spacing, brakes, derailleur mounting and cable routing.

It’s not impossible, but it is, as they say: “A good way to spend $100 to make a $50 bike “
Unless this bike has a special value to you, or you already have the necessary parts on hand, you’re better off getting a bike that’s already got a multi speed drivetrain installed.
