Yes you can take resits once your are in uni, but you will need to inform them you're taking another course outside of university. But employers will know that you did resit them due to when you gained the qualification. Theres plenty of other and better ways to improve your CV frankly.

You write it in your CV and it'll be on your certificates e.g.

If you wanted to resit your A-levels, then that would depend on whether there was a syllabus change (like there is from 2009-2010), and various other factors... you'd need to find and contact a centre that does the same A-levels on the same exam board (potentially your old school) and pay them for the resits and other exam entry fees.
