Depends on your Mac. If it is one of the newest models, no.
If it is older, you can download the installer and create a USB installer: http://www.macworld.com/article/2056561/how-to-make-a-bootable-mavericks-install -drive.html

Or, just Boot into Recovery, use Disk Utility to erase the drive, then reinstall the OS:
