You absolutely can replace a 2-prong outlet with a 3-prong GFCI marked "no equipment ground." That's code-compliant in most of the US.

As others have said, though, you still won't get the benefit of a proper ground, just the ability to plug a 3-prong cable in and a degree of personal shock protection.

right, i did look into the gfci outlet. so basically the gfci only protects me and no extra protection on the equipment
