Is it possible to swap the 12'' neck of a guitar with a 9.5'' one? Example, replace the neck of the Classic Player 60 with the one from the Deluxe?
Thanks,
Gus

Sure!! Should be possible.
You might have to adjust string height at the bridge saddles so that the radius of the strings equal the radius of the fretboard.

Absolutely. That's the whole point of Fender Strats... The ability to swap bodies and necks...

Word of Caution, there are some differences between years... I had a Fender Tex-Mex Strat from the mid 90's who's neck heal was thicker than a newer Fender Deluxe Roadhouse neck pocket... That's the only problem I've seen so far.

Third party necks, yes: Warmoth, Allparts, both licensed by Fender (just to name two)

Original, but used Fender parts: every online auction house or second hand advertisement site (Craigslist in USA for example, Der Heiße Draht in Germany .....)
