No you can’t because a 32 bits OS doesn’t provide 64 bits support. The reverse is true though, you can install a 32 bits program on a 64 bits Linux.
Specifically in the case of Java program though, except for those programs that require huge heaps you should be able to get the to run on both a 32 bits or 64 bits JDK, so it’s worth a try to install the 32 bits JDK and try to execute the application.
