Only for that one piece of software. No app is allowed to change any aspect of the iPhones core OS, so if you did find a T9 app (the technical name for the phone pad) it would not work in Mail, Messaging, Notes, etc.
You can't change it to a phone pad. You can get access to the numbers by hitting the 123 button on the lower left of the keyboard but there is no option to turn it into a standard telephone keypad.
