No, leopard geckos are strictly carnivores – which mean that they only eat meat protein. You may however gut load your crickets with some veggies and fruits. The leopard gecko will not eat veggies. Any leopard gecko book would answer all of your questions.

Some studies have actually shown that they eat small amounts of fruit in the wild.
Crickets, mealworms etc should absolutely make up the majority of their diet, but you could try feeding it a very small amount of pureed fruit (baby food) or finely chopped soft fruit (peach, mango) in a shallow dish once in a while.
Not everyone does this, of course, and your leo might not be interested.
