It is difficult to change an accent, but it can be done. Actors do it all the time, but they have voice training. The younger you are, the easier it is to make new speech sounds; ones that are not in your mother tongue.

This should not be difficult. Most American actors have neutral accents at least in their films. Listen and copy.
