Not if you have not amended before, AND you file the amended pleading before the hearing on the demurrer. Cal. Code of Civil Procedure section 472 provides in part: (a) A party may amend its pleading once without leave of the court at any time before the answer or demurrer is filed, or after a demurrer is filed but before the demurrer is heard if the amended complaint, cross-complaint, or answer is filed and served no later than the date for filing an opposition to the demurrer.
