No. A judge has to order that a part of your sentence may be served by probation. A prosecutor can recommend probation on the facts of your case, but that is totally in his or her discretion. And even if probation is recommended by the prosecutor, the judge gets the final say. See a criminal law attorney in your area if you want to try to turn some of your sentence into probation.
