spacetime
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime
Euclidian space
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_space
Minkowski space
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minkowski_space
and examine the concepts presented there.
Modern physics views the curvature of spacetime around an object as much a feature of that object as are its mass and volume.
Time has historically been closely related with space, the two together comprising spacetime in Einstein's special relativity and general relativity. According to these theories, the concept of time depends on the spatial reference frame of the observer(s), and the human perception as well as the measurement by instruments such as clocks are different for observers in relative motion. Even the temporal order of events can change, but the past and future are defined by the backward and forward light cones, which never change. The past is the set of events that can send light signals to the observer, the future the events to which she can send light signals. All else is the present and within that set of events the very time-order differs for different observers.
So to give a simple answer, I'm going to say 'no'.

You cannot free yourself from the time dimension just as you cannot free yourself from your human body. You can however, manipulate the time dimension. In fact, we do this every day constantly. When you just stand there, the mass of your body slightly bends time and space around you causing time to slow down. Also, as you walk forward this bending of spacetime is increased. If you can figure out a way to travel very close to the speed of light, you will be able to free yourself in the sense that you could potentially travel to any point in the future (never the past).

Can you "free" yourself of the X dimension? Yes if you stayed constrained in the Y and Z and never move in the X. I don't know if I would call this beeing free but hey!
How can you free yourself from time... By applying the same logic: constrain yourself in the X, Y and Z dimensions only. That means never changing, never moving and being eternal. Since this is impossible, you cannot free yourself from the time dimension.

You cant free yourself from space, therefore you cant free yourself from time.

Some people say yes but I personally think you just die.
