I intentionally steered clear of giving a direct answer, since a direct answer won't really help you that much. If I can arouse your interest enough to at least look into strength-theory a bit (even if you don't read the book), well... I can't make guarantees, but it's one of the best resources on the planet. The opportunity to further utilise your potential is there.
To answer you directly, no, you can't change your talents. You can change how they manifest, and your skills and knowledge, too, but your talents are mostly locked in from the age of 16, and only extreme things such as the loss of a limb (and the learning to live without it) can trigger significant synaptic growth, triggering changes in your dominant, consistent patterns of thought, feeling, and behaviour.
Notice how I used the word "talents" instead of "personality", not answering the question once again?
