No, you cannot rekey a Kwikset lock with just any random key. To successfully utilize Kwikset's popular SmartKey Security re-keying technology, your lock must feature a SmartKey cylinder, and you must possess your current working operational key alongside a valid Kwikset SmartKey learning tool. Furthermore, the new blank or replacement key you wish to program must share the exact same keyway profile (such as the standard KW1 keyway) and must fit physically into the cylinder plug before the internal sidebar mechanism will accept and re-encode to the new biting pattern.
