No. The 64-bit OS will not run on a 32-bit CPU. Features
like access to larger RAM rely on the additional capabilities of
the 64-bit CPU and cannot be added to a 32-bit CPU simply be
adding software.
If you want any of the benefits that going 64-bit brings, you
need first to upgrade to a 64-bit CPU, and then consider running
64-bit software on it.
