Best guess, it can. There is no other way for a true narcissist to be aware of issues within him or herself.

Can you change a narcassist?
A narcissist would not want help because he or she would not think there was anything wrong. Therefore, you can't help a narcissist; even when a narcissist is court ordered into therapy, there is little a professional can do to help a person change this personality type.
How do you help a narcissist?
The question is help them how? Refer them to counseling, but they don't want to be fixed, though you may want to fix them to be a 'normal' person so you can keep a relationship with them. If you are a lay person and in a relationship with a narcissist, you cannot help them. Just by the nature of your relationship and the pathology of a narcissist, things will get ugly, it will be at your expense and there will be no change in the narcissist. A good therapist will be the one to help a narcissist, but it takes a great deal of work on the part of the narcissist, a commitment to healing, only they don't see themselves as 'broken' or anything wrong with them, so an honest introspective communication with a therapist is rare. It's so hard to understand. Leaving them is best for you though and isn't that sad that that is also the way to help a narcissist, because they are sucking your goodness from you and using it to buoy themselves. So sad.
Can the narcissist ever become himself and he is a narcissist and so is his mother he seems to look to her for acceptance can he change if she accepts him?
I don't think so. How can change occur in narcissist whose mother is a narcissist as well, even if she accepts him? The very sickness comes from that lack of emotional support given by the mother at the most crucial time, birth. My mother in law has damaged my husband so much that because he is a product of his environment, he had dished out his madness upon me and his children. Sadly, I am the one who had the mental breakdown and has suffered so much. Is there really help for a narcissist?
Will a narcissist treat a wealthy woman better than he treated his past relationships?
A narcissist is not likely to treat a wealthy woman better than he treated his past relationships. The reason for this is because he can't truly change his ways without help.

Can a codependent and a narcissist be together?
Why would ANYONE want to be with a narcissist? A codependent would be about the only type of personality that could tolerate being with a narcissist, and they will pay a terrible price. Dump the narcissist and get some help with the codependency. ACOA, CODA, Al-anon and Nar-anon are as close as your telephone.
If a narcissist asked you to wait 10 years for him does this mean you will never be free from him?
Why would some one "wait." 10 years? it doesn't matter who you are waiting for if the person loved you they would demonstrate that love right away. So, if some one decides to put their life on hold for a narcissist i suggest to go get professional help as to why you would do such a thing. Plus, I think you would give as your life will change. A Narcissist thinks you have nothing better to do!!
