Possibly. Depending on the amount of time that has transpired, you may be able to file a motion with the court for an early termination of the probation. If not, you may have to go back to Georgia where the case originated and file a similar motion there.

Re: On probation but wanting it revoked
A Florida court can not grant you early termination. You need to contact a Georgia criminal lawyer, preferably in the county your case originated, and hire them to file for early termination.
It also helps to have a letter from your current PO saying you are doing well and they have no objection to early term.
