Normal vision made better

Can an eye with 20/20 vision be improved to 20/15, or 20/10 by wearing a weak minus lense ?

I think that you mean to ask if an eye with 20/20 vision can be weakened, not improved. 20/20 is perfect vision.

No, that is not what curious meant.  20/15 is better than 20/20.  I have normally without glasses about 20/150 vision, but with glasses 20/15.  The numbers refer to what can be seen sharply at twenty feet, and compares it to an apparent distance.  To a normal person, what looks clear at 150 feet is what would look clear to me at 20 feet.  20/150.  With glasses, what looks clear at fifteen feet to a person with 20/20 vision, looks the same to me at twenty feet.  That is the point of their question.

I don't know what the answer to their question is, but I am watching to see if someone else does.

You're welcome.  I'm glad you tolerated being corrected and were grateful for it.  It shows very good character on your part.
