Yes. It is known as "amending the charge." It is usually done when the prosecutor finds the circumstances of the offense are found to actually better fit the criteria of another offense. In your case, both charges are apparently misdemeanors so you're not facing any increased penalty.

Can the courts change a felony to a misdemeanor?
The decision on whether a crime is a felony or a misdemeanor is a legislative decision and the court cannot change that directly. However most felony crimes have 'lesser included offenses' that are misdemeanors. For example, a burglary could be charged as a criminal trespass, a felony assault as a misdemeanor assault, or a robbery as a simple theft. This is not usually done by a Judge or a court, but can easily be done by a prosecutor or jury.

Can a person with a theft and burglary felony from almost seven years ago become an EMT Paramedic?
I am currently a licensed EMT-I in the state of Georgia, and I have just completed a Paramedic program and passed my National Registry. I have a misdemeanor burglary charge from 12 years ago, which is hindering me from being licensed in this state. As far as my research, petitioning to have a criminal history sealed is the only way to go. But, mind you, the criminal background check policy just changed in January of this year... Who knows, I might have to go work in Alabama or some other 3rd rate state :(
