Yes and No.
While the Fourteenth Amendment did not completely overturn Dred Scott v. Sandford, (1857), it overturned major provisions of it. For example, Chief Justice Taney's opinion established that African Americans could never be citizens under the Constitution. However, the Equal Protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment created the concept of "substantive due process", which nullified this precedent.
The Thirteenth Amendment actually outlawed slavery, which was key to the Dred Scott decision.
Case Citation:
Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 US 393 (1857)

Court decisions can be overturned by higher courts, with the highest being the Supreme Court. Once the Supreme Court has issued a ruling, it can only be overturned by another Supreme Court ruling if the court agrees to hear that case or a similar case again.
