I'll double-check with the others but realistically the answer is no as we do not allow remakes/demakes of existing intellectual property and it will fall under that rule by proxy.
This doesn't stop you making something inspired by a particular game / style of course, just not directly using that IP.

Can my entry be a remake or a demake of an existing game?

No, games must be original and not use existing intellectual property.

by fangame I mean a game that uses existing characters that were written and designed by someone else

Still basically falls under using existing IP which is against the spirit (and rules) of the jam. Best to just do a homage rather than a fangame.
