Can a cow have a gestation period less than eight month's?

Yes, but it's highly unrecommended and highly risky for a calf to even survive. The calves that are born a month or two before the suggested due (which is 9 months, not 8) date are called "premies" or premature calves. They require much more intensive care from the farmer so they live than calves that are born after the 9-month gestation period. It's the same thing with human babies that are born prematurely: they need close monitoring and intensive care in order for them to even survive the harsh outside world. Calves that are born before 7 months very often don't survive, as they have been aborted.
