Yes, by using a transformer, BUT BUT BUT unless you are a qualified electrician (which you obviously aren't) you should not try and mess with the power supply from a wall outlet - you could kill yourself! Have you tried rechargeable batteries?. The simple way is to use a plug in multi voltage adaptor in place of the batteries. Get a socket fitted by your local electronics repairer, to match your adapter.

What is the difference between electricity in a battery vs the electricity in an electrical outlet?
One is AC and the other is DC. AC- alternating current is used in electrical outlets DC- direct current is used in batteries. An electrical outlet in your house would have 120 volts (the ones you use most, your tv, lights, radio are plugged into) or 240 volts (the ones your stove and dryer plug into). A battery voltage varies widely: AA & AAA batteries have 1.5 volts, a 9 volt battery has 9 volts, your car battery has 12 volts.
How do you rewire an outlet to work independently and not by a light switch?
Most switched outlets have one half that's hot all the time. If that's the case it will be as easy as changeing the outlet. In the center of each side of the outlet there is a small piece of copper connecting the two screws. Look and see if the copper piece is broken on the hot side, if it is then replace the outlet using the constant hot. Cap off the unused wire from the switch. If both sides of the outlet are switched then you can remove the two wires from the switch and tie them together. then either replace the switch and have a dummy or put on a blank cover. You should be all set.
