No it can't. The only way to overturn a supreme court decision is either another supreme court decision, or a constitutional amendment.
The Supreme Court cannot directly enforce its rulings; instead, it relies on respect for the Constitution and for the law for adherence to its judgments. Because the Supreme Court simply bases its decisions on the Constitution, the decisions are not overturned. The decisions simply uphold the Constitution but do not have outside enforcement.Added: Short answer: (in the US) The Supreme Court is the highest court in the nation. Its rulings cannot be overturned unless done by a subsequent ruling of the same court.

A Supreme Court decision can be overturned by a constitutional amendment, a new Supreme Court decision, or a change in the composition of the Court.
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. It is also possible for Congress to pass a law or constitutional amendment (with the help of the states, which must ratify any amendment), which can effectively overturn a Supreme Court decision by altering the law on which the decision was based.
The president does not have any power over the decisions of the Supreme Court. Only the Supreme Court itself can overturn a supreme court decision.
The Supreme Court has no power to enforce its own decisions.
