Absolutely not!! If you could, then Caller ID would be useless.

No. Your ID is your number. If the person you're calling has you listed as a contact with this number showing, that person will see your name when you call. In other words, the call recipient, not the sender, can choose what to display when a call arrives from a known contact.
