You can make motion to withdraw a plea after sentencing, but would need to convince the judge that it would be a "manifest injustice" to deny the motion. It is rare for a judge to grant such a motion. If granted, the prosecutor can resume the prosection, put the defendant on trial.

It would be very difficult based on the facts presented.
