Yes, but the answer is too lengthy to discuss here.
In fact it is explored in the book "How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day"
This question has been asked here:
"Learning to be left-handed"

And here:

Good luck!

U can, maybe. But most people who have it are either born w/ it, or are not overly dependent on one hand like most of us are.
If u seem to not have much of a dominance of one hand, I think u can.
My friend did, and he uses his left hand in sports and his right hand for writing.
In tennis, he has 2 forehands, meaning he's ambidextrous.
But you better have started really early.
Rafael Nadal, World #2 in tennis, was right handed, but became left handed in tennis. He started hitting left-handed at the age of 3, and then played left handed forever.
Of course, he writes w/ his right hand.

I'd give my right arm to be ambidexterous! LOL

Usually you are born with this trait or people that broke their dominant arm had to switch hands and had to train themselves to use their nondominant hand. Either practice or "accidentally" break an arm and then you are forced to.

Not that I know of. It's usually something you're born with.
