Need Your Assistance Please

the cloth braded rubber hose that goes from the master cylinder reservoir to the clutch petal was leaking, and while i was messing with it, it pulled away from the clutch petal.

1. can I replace with a rubber fuel hose?
2. what is the best way to put the hose on?

thank you very much
