Yes you can but you need to be aware that it has the same legal effect as a guilty plea. If you plead no contest you will have a conviction on your record. It would be the same as if had plead guilty or been convicted after a trial.
Only if the prosecutor or the court allow that option.
The theft of property not exceeding two hundred dollars in value is theft in the fifth degree. Theft in the fifth degree is a simple misdemeanor.
From the information given in the question it is impossible to draw an opinion. The penalty would be up to the discretion of the judge.

Depends on the state law. The crime you described is larceny.
If you're a first time offender, and the theft is under $25, you go free. Second time, prosecution for any amount.
It depends on what kind of theft it was. The maximum amount you'd be in jail for would be three years. However, since you are a first time offender, you'd stand a good chance of avoiding the maximum sentence.
It is possible for a theft charge to disqualify you from getting an insurance license.
Actually its called Theft. Larceny is a form of theft. Taking with the intention of keeping permanantly. If that's the case, then it would be called Larceny in whatever degree. Depending on the worth or amount.
how much time can you get for theft by taking a misson

actually the charge is Access Device Fraud, which is a felony. you can also be receive a charge for each item purchased. Receiving stolen property. then they can really be out to get you and also hit you with multiple counts of theft by unlawful taking of movable property. again for each purchase. AND they can also hit you with Identity Theft!
