No you can’t.
However, a firm understanding of how it works becomes critical in off-normal situations. (e.g. lost or stolen phone)
Suggest you read and become familiar w/ these two articles:
Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support
Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support
Pay particular attention to thoughtfully setting up additional Trusted Numbers; almost all of us will need them from time to time.

You might be able to.
I see you want to disable two-factor authentication. For some background I suggest you read the document: "Two-factor authentication for Apple ID" - Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support
Some may find the article somewhat difficult to follow and some wording unclear so I am providing what I feel is clearer information. When presented with isolated quotations from that document it is easy to misunderstand if you can or cannot disable two-factor authentication. Hopefully you will make it this far in reading replies to your question! This is how it works:
Several years ago Apple transitioned to using two-factor authentication for additional account security. Accounts created since that time automatically use two-factor authentication and this cannot be disabled.
Some people have older accounts from before two-factor authentication was mandatory on new accounts. Apple encourages those users to transition to two-factor authentication when signing in on their accounts because without it "your account is less secure and you can't use features that require a higher level of security." Those owners of older accounts who just activated two-factor authentication have two weeks to change their minds and return to older security settings.
If you have an older account, recently activated two factor authentication, and you're within the two week period for turning it off again, you should check for an email from Apple for a way to do this. If you don't see one about this, look in your junk mail folder.
You’re welcome.
If you have only a single device (e.g an iPhone) …
… those Trusted Numbers AND having your “Lost Phone Drill” committed to memory can REALLY get you out if an otherwise difficult situation.
Thank you. That helps a lot.
