Can I install a 220v outlet using a double pole 110v breaker?

If you are talking about the type of breaker that fits in a single breaker slot but has two switches... no, you can't. You need to have a hot leg from each side of the buss, and a breaker like you (assume) are talking about has both on the same buss.
