The kit lens provided by this Pentax DSLR camera isn't good enough.Is Sigma 17-70mm lens compatible with Pentax K10D ?

The Sigma is a nice lens and generally reviews well. Depending on your budget you may also want to consider:
1) Pentax 28-105 F3.5 Zoom - very nice medium length zoom that maintains good image quality (reasonably priced).
2) Pentax 24-90 F3.5 Zoom - another very nice medium length zoom that is priced under $500.
If top quality is what you're after then you may want to consider looking at a telephoto (non-zoom) instead. As good as some zooms are (and those listed above perform quite nicely) they are a compromise in terms of total picture quality.
If I were to mount one, non-zoom prime lens on a 10D it would be the Pentax Limited 77mm F1.8. It will run you around $600 and doesn't offer any zoom capability, but it offers truly great performance.
Good luck in your search!

Sure - just order the right version. Sigma makes this lens for Canon, Nikon, Sigma, Sony/ Konica Minolta, and Pentax bodies.
Here it is with a Pentax mount. I'm not saying you should buy it here (although B&H is reliable and usually has good prices), I'm just pointing out that it exists:
