No. There are two ways by which microbes make food unsafe - either by the presence of the germs themselves, or by the toxins that they create. Heating the food will kill enough microbes. However, some of the toxins that they've left behind are heat-stable, and it isn't possible to cook the food enough to destroy them (without turning the food to charcoal).

Well, expiration date is there to tell you when the food is no longer safe to eat it. Frozen items however can be consumed past their expiration date but only if they are not "touched" by freezer burn.
