No. It's internal engines do not have enough thrust, nor do the wings produce enough lift for the shuttle to lift off. If it attempted it, it would end in failure as a burning wreckage at the end of the runway.

Why can't a space shuttle use a runway like a plane?
For takeoff, it requires so much thrust to get it off the ground that if it used a regular runway, it would need something like 5 miles behind it to avoid damage. So they make it take off vertically to avoid that. A space shuttle lands on a regular (but slightly longer) runway just like a plane.
