i don't know much about the lore of fate and i'm not sure if there's some rule against it or something but i have wondered, could someone summon themself? like with this image, could you just enter your summon circle as the catalyst and hope a strong version of yourself pops out?

It's possible but the requirements are steep. First, the future you would have to have done something worth being recorded into the Throne of Heroes, which in modern times is super ridiculously nigh impossible. There's a workaround, but making a contract with Alaya isn't cheap and the future you still has to be some peak human specimen or boundary-pushing visionary because the Counter Force has no use for normie couch potatoes with no skills. And second, you'd have to be compatible with the future you as summoning without a catalyst gives you a Servant similar to you in personality. Also third, this isn't really an image of some schmuck summoning his future self, Muramasa is from the past and might or might not be Shirou's ancestor. If you're looking for a future version of Shirou look for Archer.

Muramasa's really weird, because the body he's in kind of is Shirou's future self - at least, the self that finished up maugus training. Then again, it's not every day a Demi-Servant gets summoned in the same host body twice. See Ishtar in FGO and Strange Fake as a counterpoint.
"Well, one of us is gonna have to change our hairstyle." "Er...I could color mine white, maybe? Slick it back?" "Maybe get a tan while yer at it." "How about a buzz cut?" "No." "Full body tattoos and a headband?" "Kid, shaddup."
Now imagine if Sakura managed to summon Muramasa. Sakura: Oh. My. God... Shinji: I would love to command him like the servant he is (sadistic grin) Sakura: Onii-san, I know that you don't like sempai... But ruin this and the things I'll ruin will just make your last words be "I'm sorry, Sakura". (Dark Sakura's tone)
Meanwhile in Emiya's household... Parvati: Master? What orders you have for me? Shirou: (Internally) AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
