Plea Negotiation = Plea Bargain. If you are charged with a serious crime (i.e.: Assault With the Intent to Rob) and are going to be brought to trial - and have a good chance of being convicted - you could offer to plead to lesser offense which carries less jail time (i.e.: Simple Assault). OR - You are a career burglar and have committed lots of burglaries, many of which may still be unsolved since the police can't link you to them. You can offer to admit to all of them but plead guilty to just one offense in exchange for a lighter sentence. That has the effect of "solving' all of them PLUS saving the state the cost of a trial.

If you take a plea bargain in court can you return to court to try an get it changed?

In general, it is unlikely that you can return to court to try to get a plea bargain changed once it has been accepted. Plea bargains are typically final and binding agreements between the prosecution and the defendant. However, there may be exceptional circumstances or legal avenues available to challenge or appeal a plea bargain, such as if there was misconduct or ineffective counsel during the negotiation process. It is advisable to consult with a lawyer to discuss your specific situation.
