Is there a way to override the Region Code for a Magnavox MWD2206 Dvd player to play Region 2 DVDs from the UK? ?

No.
That model is manufactured by Funai Corporation for Magnavox and there is apparently no region-free firmware in existence for it.

In general, the generic brand DVD players that are sold under many different names do often have region select or region free capability.

Big-name types only sold as a single brand very rarely do....Show more

The best thing to do is buy an "all-region, all-format" player.  
                   
Region codes cannot be "overridden".  
                    
                       
If you insist on trying, know these facts before you start:     
Some machines can be modified ("hacked"); others cannot,  
and those that can be sometimes don't work the same afterward. 
Most can't be made region-free, and changing them back may not be possible.  

Every model that can be hacked needs a different procedure, 
so don't try anything recommended for any model other than the one you have.    
                        
Be aware that it is easier to "brick" a player than to change its region!  ...Show more

I lived overseas and purchased a number of region 2 DVDs.

I invested in a REGION-FREE DVD player over 20 years ago.

They're really cheap now:
