No...it doesn't really work that way. If you were already arrested and the prosecutor wants to continue with the charges, it is up to the prosecutor. However, the person wanting to drop charges may help. Is this your first offense? Have you ever been arrested before? Convicted before? Do you have a lawyer? Contact a criminal defense attorney and see what could help you in this situation. Try the Pennsylvania Bar or www.attorneypages.com.
