No.
'Lose' means: to miss from one's possession or from a customary or supposed place
'Loose' means: not rigidly fastened or securely attached b (1) : having worked partly free from attachments (2) : having relative freedom of movement c : produced freely and accompanied by raising of mucus d : not tight-fitting
There are, of course, many more meanings, but these are the most common ones

Not if it is used in a sentence in the wrong place. It is never acceptable to use one for the other.

It certainly is NOT acceptable, as they have entirely different meanings and pronunciation.
Lose (looz) is to misplace something
Loose (loos) is to let go (verb), or an adjective. i.e., my pants are loose, the dog is loose.

Not acceptable. It is a different word all together. As in: "my shoelaces are loose."
