If you have Verilog or VHDL code for ASIC, of course you can modify it for use with FPGA. But, the amount of modifications can be large enough. The problems include:

1) FPGA doesn't support clock gating (althought some tools, like Synplify, can "emulate" it).
2) Library elements for all RAMs, I/O pads etc. should be changed to the corresponding elements from FPGA library.
