Welcome to the AK turn table forum.

Yes, you can swap put the cartridge on the Yamaha P-200, just undo the two screws in the headshell.

The cartridge should be magnetic.

Get a highish compliant type cartridge that is suitable for a light weight tone arm.

Example:

Ortofon OM10

Be sure to realign the cartridge after installation.

Best of luck with your purchase.

You may be able to just replace the needle in the cartridge.
