Can I use jam setting mix to set a cheesecake?!

I'm using cream cheese and condensed milk in the recipe

I wouldn't. Do you not have any gelatine! If no gelatine, maybe replace the gelatine with around 3 tspsflavoured jelly dissolved in approx 1/4 cup water.

No - jam setting mix is pectin.

Cheers! Actually, I used a quarter cup of lemon juice and it's set sweet as! It's actually the pectin that makes it set, great to know!

So you didn't bake it or anything and it set properly with just the addition of lemon juice! I'm impressed. I didn't think there was that much pectin in lemon juice at all compared to the peel.
