HS1 trains don't have First Class anyway. If you are referring to other Southeastern services, then No. You must have a First Class ticket to be in areas marked as First Class. (unless it is declassified like on the Sheerness line)
It only works the other way round. Some First Class tickets are valid on High Speed regardless of routing shown on the ticket. The Southeastern website isn't particularly clear on which tickets that extends to.
