No, but you can use a SATA drive in the place of the cd drive.
NVME requires a PCIe lane for it to work, SATA uses different protocols and voltages.
m.2 will support SATA and NVME, but a SATA port cannot support an NVME drive at all.

you will need something like one of these. get the proper height as there are three. 7, 9, and 12mm.
not an endorsement, example only shop around
a standard SATA SSD will go where the HDD is and the HDD will go in to this. the CD's SATA port MAY be slower so I suggest putting the HDD in the caddy/tray.
unless you have 2 NVME drives that need large files transferred back and forth a SATA drive will be fast enough, you will need bench marking software to measure the differences in daily operation

I doubt you can put a NVMe SSD in place of your SATA CD/DVD drive/burner as they usually have custom connectors. SATA cannot support NVMe as it requires PCIe lanes. If you had an actual M.2 slot, the quick answer is MAYBE. not all M.2 slots support both protocols. sometimes they favor just one. From what I can tell, the HDD uses an eSATA interface. The DVD drive is probably the same, customized.
You may be able to substitute a SATA SSD for the HDD but with what I can find on your model of laptop, an NVMe SSD will not work. (M/2 connector that supports PCIe and NVMe required.) And from what I can gather on your laptop, you have no M.2 options.
