Short: No.
Long: CE and XP are two entirely different things. CE is an embedded thing used for (old) portable devices. XP is a 'real' OS.
My Advice: Netbooks are only $400 for a decent one. Shop around Amazon and get ones that are relatively recent. Or get iPads ^-^.

https://bridalentrancement875.weebly.com/caracteristicas-de-nokia-x2-01-tiene-wifi.html. I'm not exactly sure what a netbook ce is, but I assume it is running Windows CE. If that is the case then, no it cannot be upgraded to Windows XP, nor any other version of Windows. Windows CE is not a standard version of Windows that you find on desktops or laptops. Windows CE was originally built for smart phones and runs on different hardware than regular Windows.
It also cannot run programs that on Windows XP, etc. Windows CE can only run programs that were specifically designed for it - which rules out all normal Windows programs.
You most likely can download music on it, it probably has some version of Windows Media Player and can download files. But it won't be able to run iTunes, Winamp, etc.

Upgrading cant be done, however it is possible to replace Windows CE with another operating system. There are many cases on Windows CE being replaced with Linux and Windows XP. You need to be able to access and modify the flash storage. Also, obtaining compatible device drivers can be an issue. This is not an easy task to accomplish and I would not recommend trying it unless you are an advanced computer user, as it is possible to permanently break the netbook.

Is there any solution to run a Windows XP executable on a Windows CE or Windows Mobile Device? Actually I think it is almost impossible or at least it would be very tricky however, I have a client says that the vendor of his Windows based application declared that the app runs on Windows XP as well as Windows CE.
Is this possible? Is there any way to convert Windows XP executable (native machine code) to Windows CE (running on x86 CPU) executable?

Native code won't work out the box because the Win32 and WinCE API's are similar, but quite different at the same time. Even when they overlap, WinCE expects the API to live in coredll.dll instead of system32.dll and friends.
If it's a simple app, and you know exactly what APIs are being called, you could write a wrapper coredll.dll that exposes the WinCE style APIs. There will be lots of unicode conversion involved!
If it's a .net compact framework application it will run if the app only references the parts of the API that are common to compact framework and the full .net framework.
It's possible to develop a cross-platform .net app that shares the bulk of the code, and has separate pinvoke layers for the CE and XP APIs respectively (if you are using them).

Converting the final executable may be well-nigh impossible in some cases, but if the vendor deliberately designed it to work on both systems, then it probably does (the task would be much easier for someone who possessed the source code). https://bridalentrancement875.weebly.com/albatron-px865pe7c-pro-driver.html.
