Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

I was offered a plea bargin and gave a plea of guilty because my public defender wanted me to... i wanted to take it to trial because i am not guilty of the charges i am being charged with. Now that i have agreed to the plea bargin and gave a guilty plea because my lawyer told me to yet i didnt want to and i have not yet been sentenced is there any way i can take back my guilty plea and take it to trial before i am sentenced and can i also ask for a new lawyer? i am being charged with criminal possesion of stolen property in the fifth degree and criminal facilitation in the 4th degree... i was never at any point found to be in any possesion of stolen property and never involved with helping commit a crime. someone please help asap i have court on the 22nd to get sentenced and none of this is making any sense n just doesnt seem fair.....
