I wanted to fly from Paris CDG to St Maarten Nertherlands Antillies. But im not rated the A340-300 so i was wondering if i could use the A330-200 but they do not have theA330-200 for that route so is there any ther way i could find a Flight to St Maarten in the A330-200. From Paris to St Maarten Thanks!

If you are rated in a plane, that can make a flight distance wise - you can use any plane you are rated in. So the answer is Yes.

You can fly any route with any plane so long as you are rated in the aircraft you chose AND can complete the flight safely and legally. I'm not sure of the A330's range, but if you can fly that plane for that distance and still have a healthy reserve when you land, then go for it!
EDIT: AK beet me too it!

Surely if AF can fly the A330 from Rio to Paris, it can make it from Paris to St Maarten.
