You can create a keyboard macro or hotkey which is basically a short script that allows you to assign a specific function of your choosing to any key pn your board.
HERE is a link to a tutorial on how to do it:

What do you mean by "2x"?
If you mean you want to multiply a value by 2, you need to work that out with the program you're entering the data into.
If you mean you want it to enter the next keystroke twice... well, 2x followed by 0 is no faster than 00, perhaps slower. This could _possibly_ be done by inserting a microcontroller between the keyboard and PC, but not easily.
What are you actually trying to accomplish?
