Answer 1: If you get a tan, it is possible. Answer 2: Not really; it's in your genes, and you cannot change your DNA. But although getting tans is very dangerous for Caucasians especially as they are at higher risk for skin cancer (although all groups can get it), it is true that tanning brings out more Melanin in the skin as a defense against the sun. But you cannot ever produce the amount of Melanin (skin pigment) that persons of African ethnicity do. Use sunscreen instead! Stay healthy. Your color is what it is.
