Yes, it’s called “motion to convert” and can be done after you’ve filed for either chapter, be advised that the trustee can also request a conversion! For instance, if your chapter 13 fails, either you or the creditor, may request a conversion to chapter 7. Likewise if the trustee thinks money might be available for unsecured creditors they may make a motion to convert your chapter 7 to a chapter 13.
