Yes, it is. Watch the film "My Fair Lady" some time and see how it's done.
Seriously, I had an uncle who moved away from home at that age and learned not merely a new accent, but a new syntax. In other words, he acquired a new dialect. He was indistinguishable from a local.

Yes, I do believe that it is possible even if you are already 20 years old.. A lot of it has to do with mimicking those around you.. if that is the accent you are trying to learn that is. It is best to start out practicing on your own, because some people can be offended by a bad attempt at an accent.

you are able to the two bypass to a voice coach, and pay for somebody to instruct you, or prepare that British accessory you're after. Have a seek on YouTube, or a google for 'study british accessory' and notice what comes up.

Thats totaly up to you, it's all in the mind, if you want to, and try to change your accent, then it will change, however at your age, it shouldn't naturaly change, but as I said, it's totaly up to you!

Some people can, but only those who have a special talent for this.
