No.  In order to change it to a domain controller you <-<-MUST->-> reinstall
server.  A major pain, but you can of course backup all data files, and you
will probably want to do this over a weekend or at night.  At this point,
you will want to evaluate the computer regarding suitability to task...
H/D's, ram, processor(s), network size, security requirements, etc.  It may
make more sense to buy/build another computer to act as PDC and BDC, and use
the member server as WINS/DHCP/DNS etc.
