There's always exceptions to the rule, but the rule is that once you sign, or even orally agree to a plea bargain, you have to accept it. About the only exception I can think of is where the prosecutor did something illegal, but not just because you have remorse for accepting a deal. Talk to your attorney right away before you are sentenced.
