not naturally by your own body.
but, stem cell research is using cells which aren;t defined yet. Using those you can make them into nerve cells and replace the damaged cells. But, the research isn't supported widely due to religion and principle.
If by 'replaced' you mean, can the body grow new ones like with blood and tissue cells, then no, not at present. There is some promising research being done with stem-cell therapies, but they're a long way from being able to effectively regrow nerve tissue.
