No.

Per NEC code and therefore Local governing electrical safety codes only circuit breakers approved by the manufacture of the electrical panel can be installed in the electrical panel.

Inside the electrical panel enclosure usually on one of sides will be info stating what style and model number can be used. Equally important the breaker must be safety Listed by a third party safety testing laboratory such as UL for use in the electrical panel.

Food for thought. The utility transformer that feeds your home and the size of the high voltage fuse protecting the primary of the transformer has the potential of delivering thousands of amps in the event of a short circuit fault current event in the electrical panel or branch circuit wiring of your home. Yes the main breaker could pass thousands of amps before it hopefully tripped open breaking the short circuit.
