Doesn't seem so. I just tried and got the following message
Microsoft SharePoint Designer cannot be used to edit web sites on servers different from Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013. To edit these sites, you need to use the same version of SharePoint Designer which matches the version of Microsoft SharePoint Server.
Yes you can edit SP13 in SPD10! http://365.webbrewers.com/blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=25
When SharePoint Designer 2013 was new, I know for a fact that I used it to connect to SharePoint Server 2010. But it may have been updated, because it's giving the above error now. Too bad, too. 2013 allows copying and pasting of custom workflow content!
