No, they are not. "cruise around " just means "to drive around" for no particular reason/purpose. "fool around" means "to behave in a silly way" (you may have also heard "to goof around") It can also mean "to be seeing someone who is not your wife/husband or your partner)

, I knew the meanings, but I asked if in casual English talking perhaps they use one instead of another.

The meanings are different so they are never interchangeable (there will always be a difference in meaning between them even if the context allows either of them).
