Yes you can by a certified person. However the cost to do so and considering your age of furnace it might just be cheaper to replace the whole thing. If a furnace is older than 15yrs old good idea to go new, new would be more fuel efficient considering today's prices.
Good luck

Used to convert old oil burners over for the gas company . These days it is not a efficient way to go the savings from any unit 10 years or newer is as much as 30-40 percent combined with a electronic thermostat (hard to find for old 110 volt oil thermostat . You would make back the investment of a new system in a short time and have a lot more room where the old furnace is and quieter.

it rather is beneficial to reassess the assumption. I lived in a house with a organic gas furnace for 10 years. final iciness I moved right into a greater domicile with an previous oil fired furnace. confident organic gas is far less consistent with unit of gas, yet you get extra BTU's out of a unit of oil than you do from gas. My heating charges are enormously smaller with an older furnace in a greater domicile.

usally a matter of simply changing the burner, and some larger units now, in commercial, are already set up to switch back and forth between oil and gas...to save money

If the system is old it aint worth doing.
personally i would get a 94% or higher efficiant gas
with sealed combustion (make sure the venting is high enough
not to get blocked by snow)
