You can play at 1080p on a 1440p monitor but that won't change the monitor's refresh rate to 144. It will still be a 60Hz monitor.
The other problem is that monitors don't always have the best internal scaling. A 1440p monitor will still have a resolution of 2560 x 1440 when you are playing with the game settings at 1080p. The monitor has to scale the 1920 x 1080 image to fit its 2560 x 1440 screen.
Some monitors are good at this but it most cases you would be better off just playing on a 1080p screen if you are going to game in 1080p. The monitor's scaling process can degrade image quality.

On my current 1080p 60Hz moniter I've been able to play games (CS:GO) On a 4:3 Resolution 1080*960 At 82Hz instead of the 60Hz the moniter does at 1080p

If you want higher refresh rates you should really look into getting a 144Hz monitor instead of trying to do weird things like that for small boosts. That way you can play at high refresh rates without sacrificing full 1080p resolution.
