2 wire to a 3 wire outlet

[DIY]

Hi all,
Does anyone know if It is code compliant/acceptable with outlets that only have 2 wires (black,white) running into them to run a third ground bare wire from the outlet all the way to the breaker box?

Thank you

Yes, it is. But by the time you go through the effort you might as well pull a new romex, or just use GFCI protection on the existing circuit.
