Not unless somebody is holding it down.

If the rock weighs 10N and you just set it in the water, it'll sink until it displaces

10N of water, and at that point, it has no desire to sink any further.

The rock will float in water. Archimedes' principle states that an object will float if it displaces more fluid (in this case water) than its own weight. In this case, the rock displaces 12N of water, which is greater than its own weight of 10N, so it will float.
