Can The Dungeon Master also be a player?

No, a Dungeon Master cannot be a player. Any character the Dungeon Master plays while DMing is called an NPC (non-player character). NPCs are handled differently in the game and do not gain XP, level up or share rewards like PCs do. You can, however, make your NPC a party member or just let them tag along.
