You must dissolve the marriage according to the laws of your state. Grounds for annulment typically include mental incapacitation, threat, fraud, force, too young, deception, impotency, incest, marriage never consummated, unions of persons too closely related, etc. The grounds must be presented in court by the innocent party within a certain statutory time period. You entered the legal state of matrimony by mutual consent. A court would not look favorably on your admission that you agreed in advance that it would be temporary. In fact, the court may question your motives suspecting them to be to commit a fraud. You will need to end your marriage legally through a divorce proceeding.

Can one get annulment if the marriage if there was an agreement that it be temporary?
If you mean: "can one get an annulment in the Catholic Church if there was an agreement between the spouses that the marriage would be temporary" then most likely, yes. Obviously, if such a secret arrangement was made, then neither spouse entered into the marriage validly in the first place, right? The question would be: did the couple marry in the Catholic Church? If so, then they very likely deceived the priest who married them. This, however, would require proof/evidence (i.e., witnesses, etc.) in order to annul the marriage on such grounds. Why would the Church assume that what the couple is saying now is the truth? Maybe they are just looking for any excuse to annul their marriage?

Why do early marriage can result to annulment?

That depends entirely on what you are asking, how you are defining your terms. An annulment in the Catholic Church is granted for a defect in the original marriage - or before.

Getting an annulment is different from getting a divorce. An annulment can only be obtained if the marriage is perceived as faulty in some way, such as if one partner lied to another to deceive them into marrying, or if they were already married. Most annulments are Catholic, since Catholicism is against divorce. Annulments are a legal process that require you to prove in court that a mistake was made, so you'll need a lawyer. If you are merely unhappy with your marriage and there is no factual mistake or problem, you will need to file for divorce and not annulment.
