Yes, but not recommended.
If there is ever an issue with your account, you won't be able to recover access to it, if you can't access the iCloud address either because they are one and the same account.
Still, if you want to do so, see the following support document.
click here ➜ Change your Apple Account primary email address - Apple Support
After you turn off the current primary email address, you can select your associated iCloud address as Primary.

The support article Change your Apple Account primary email address - Apple Support outlines various methods for changing the email address (Apple ID) you use for your Apple Account while retaining everything in your account.
Again, it is not a good idea to use an iCloud address as your account identifier. Should you have problems with your account then Apple will be sending you help emails to the very place where you won't be able to read them.
