Sorry Ben, you'll have to be a bit clearer. Do you mean can you use a rear brake caliper on the front? If so then : Yes, they tend to be universal, but
1. You need the right size caliper (old Hope ones came in different sizes) or use the right size adapter
2. The lever will need to be swapped over (or mounted on the "wrong" side)
3. the hose will need shortening
4. rear calipers are generally IS mount, and modern forks are often post mount, so you'll need adaptors to fit it, and this may change the size of disc required.
