If you are already in Chapter 13 bankruptcy can you change it over to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy?

You may convert the case to a Chapter 7 case.  However, there may be additional filing fees necessary for the conversion.  You should discuss this decision with your attorney before making converting, because there are some debts that you can include in a Chapter 13 payment plan that cannot be discharged by a Chapter 7 discharge, or there may be an impact on various assets which might be liquidated.
