If you mean "baked into the cake", then no, you shouldn't. There's a whole lot of moisture in fresh fruit (including pineapple), and it will really throw off the moisture content of the cake batter. In other words, it won't bake right. Pineapple upside-down cake has fresh pineapple added to the bottom of the cake pan before baking (this then becomes the top of the finished cake). But the pineapple is ON the cake, not IN it.
Dried fruit, including pineapple, can be used (think about raisins...they're used all the time). It's best to coat the dried fruit chunks in a little bit of flour before adding them to the cake batter, or else they'll all sink to the bottom.

I've used canned and they were fine.
