Why would you want to do that? The handbrake wasn't designed to stop the car, only keep it stopped. Putting it in N won't really hurt anything (some very minor wear and tear when shifting back into gear; not enough to worry about) but using the parking brake to stop the car will wear it out and is unsafe to boot.
