can i use blue jack (line in) for use of pink jack (mic in) because pink jack is broken

Sometimes when plug mic in pink jack (mic in) i hear noises in my green jack (line out) and sometimes i can hear my own voice when am talking in the mic.

And sometimes i hear nothing but when am talking to friends they cant hear me

I knw my motherboard is busted but i cant afford to buy anything right now

pc is: intel pentium d935
presler 65nm technology
4 gb ram dual channel ddr2 398mhz
Nvidia geforce 210 512mb
298GB SAMSUNG HD322HJ ATA Device (SATA)

Pretty old pc but was awesome up to date. I have an I5 also but this one am more accustomed to. It is starting to mess up but am still using this old guy
 
Solution
Most probably - no (but you won't break anything if you try).
"Microphone" input is designed to accept very low signal from the microphone.
"Line In" input is designed for much higher signals (eg from your phone).
