Yes, it can! In CO2, due to electronegativity difference oxygens have slight -ve charge, hence surrounded by polar water molecule forming a cage structure.This leads to its solubility. it is a slow process and needs high pressure to achieve greater dissolution.
Not all CO2 molecules get dissolved, fraction of those reacts to form carbonic acid H2CO3.This reaction is also slow.
