Nope, a GFCI is basically a breaker. Re-read NEC 406.3(D)(2) regarding
the
installtion of GFCI's in a "No Equipment Ground" context. It works with

Impossible. A GFCI senses current on the ground. Without a valid 3rd wire,
it has no way to differentiate between normal mode from hot to neutral,
and
leakage to ground.

You need to brush up your Electricity 101...

"Where no grounding means exists at an outlet box, a non-grounding
receptacle may be replaced with a grounding-type GFI receptacle with no
ground connection. The receptacle must be marked "no equipment ground".
If
the GFI protects additional loads, a ground wire must not be connected to
the supplied loads."
406.3(d)(3)(b)


"Where no grounding means exists at an outlet box, a non-grounding
receptacle may be replaced with a grounding-type receptacle with no ground
connection if it is protected by a GFI. The receptacle must be marked "no
equipment ground" and "GFI protected". A ground wire must not be
connected
between grounding-type receptacles so used."
