No you cannot, PCIe is a completely different slot on your motherboard..... PCI is one of the most common slots you can find on a motherboard and PCIe is a newer and better slot used to transfer data at a faster rate. The slots look different and you can't put a PCIe card in a PCI slot...

No, and if you attempt to you will cause damage to your mobo and your graphics card, get a board with x16 slots.

No, to put it simply, you can't. It won't physically fit.
