If not, why?
If yes, have you done it?
And does it sound any different?

Sure, but the pickup won't work unless it's ceramic.
A solid body electric doesn't allow the string's vibrations to develop, so it sounds pretty quiet and lousy. The bridge is metal & will also cut into the nylon strings.

The short answer is no.
The magnetic pickups on an electric rely on strings that are ferrous (have magnetic properties) to disturb the magnetic field of the pickups and cause a current to be developed which is sent to the amplifier.
Brass and phosphorous bronze- the 2 most common acoustic string materials- have very minimal magnetic properties so they really don't allow the pickups to do their job.

I ran out of money once, and was forced to replace my 5th string with a accoustic one, it sounded dull and cloudy. I'm never doing that again, desecrating a defenseless guitar like that.

No that does not work.
