[Matrix] If Bane aka Agent Smith can copy his digital 'self' into a real person from Zion. Does this mean the other Machines living in the Matrix can to?

Could the Architect, Merovingian, Oracle, or any of the machines theoretically do that if they wanted to?

The intent of the Oligarchs was to make this possible. The Oligarchs were rogue programs who were essentially "code ghosts" of humans from the original Matrix. Humans whose bodies died but they propagated themselves as code. They wanted to escape the Matrix and return to physical human bodies, which is why they started the Biological Interface Program, developing humans that could engage with the Matrix without a hardwire connection. The Oligarchs could go in and out of the Matrix at will, but leaving the Matrix required robot bodies; it was the choice of a digital body in the real world, or a human body in the digital world. So they manipulated things behind the scenes to get the Biological Interface Program going so humans would eventually be vessels for them to enter into, outside the Matrix.

Most other Machines didn't have the code access to make such a thing possible. The three you mentioned- Architect, Merovingian, and Oracle- probably would be able to if they put their minds to it, but they had no desire to leave the Matrix.
