No state can constitutionally have a law that conflicts with national laws. However, amendment can be made to the national constitution to make room for a difference so that a state may pass a law. An example can be the state law banning gay marriage. The Constitution bans the federal government from prohibiting freedom of religion, but it also states that the states reserve the right to govern certain aspects of the law at their own discression.

Can a governor override the people's vote for president?

No- the president has virtually no power over a governor's decisions unless they violate federal law. If a governor defies federal law, as happened, for example, in Arkansas in 1957, the president can use federal troops to enforce the law. The president can sometimes put pressure on a governor by holding up federal funds to his state.
