It would be inappropriate for anyone other than a physician (preferably a psychiatrist) or psychologist specializing in that personality disorder to conclusively answer your question.

Personality Disorders are not cut-and-dry, can overlap with one another in terms of the features and behaviors, and can vary in severity and degree as well as manifestations. Coping mechanisms, self regulation, intelligence, and other factors can mitigate the effects. Building these capabilities can help a person deal with these disorders.

Insight and an optimistic desire for change in their lives are very important indicators of successful treatment/therapy.

Borderline Personality Disorder is a tricky one to diagnose and difficult to deal with. They can be very resistant to care and may sabotage efforts to help them because they have a deep need for certain things like attention and control over even minor things that they can't deal with any therapeutic process that tries to liberate them from that need because it involves taking those things away gradually. The patient must be willing and desirous of change, they must also have strong insight (which they often do not) into the fact that they are in the grips of a mental illness that makes their lives very difficult.

It is likely that personality disorders are not something that is "cured" but many people are able to get help and deal with them to an extent where they can live a pretty normal and good life by mitigating the disorder. The first step is admitting to oneself that there is something that they want to change.
