If you mean "can i switch over to synthetic oil" you can do that at your next scheduled oil change. In fact many vehicles are now coming from the factory with synthetic oil in them as the use of regular or synthetic oil makes no difference in engine break in.
Here is some more good information about synthetics:

you can do iy any time but why? Use a blended and save a lot of money over full synthetic. The main thing is to properly maintain your engine and you can do that with most any oils these days since many brands are bottled at one location just different packages

10,000 miles we let the motor have a good break in and that was what my mechanic recommended...

After about 1500 Miles, don't add it any sooner, and don't be afraid to get into it a little during break in. But I wouldn't add it any sooner than 1500 miles so you can make sure that the rings have had enough miles to properly seat.

Whenever you want, there are too many myths about synthetic oil. As long as the manufacturer doesn't specifically forbid it - like Mazda for Rx8's, make your next oil change a sythentic one.

Ween it up. Do it half and half the first oil change and then go full the second one.

I agree with "That Guy", next oil change.
