Without more information that could possibly invalidate the lease (such as there was some kind of fraud involved, or you were underage at the time you signed up) --- NO.

Barring some undisclosed situation would would make the lease unenforceable, not only can you not get your money back, but you may be liable for rent payments until the landlord is able to lease the property to someone else.

Not likely.
You signed a contract. Look to the contract or details on how you may "get out of it".
