Yes, this is actually a common thing for people to do when they cannot maintain the strict payment schedule of a chapter 13 bankruptcy. This can be done once for any reason, without court approval. However, to switch back, approval of the bankruptcy court is required, and they will rarely allow a debtor to make multiple switches. Keep in mind that these are different types of bankruptcy so some items that may not have been up for grabs to creditors with a chapter 13 are available to be sold in a chapter 7.
