Check with an immigration lawyer to see about the laws. I believe you can, if you are from a country which is NOT subject to the 2 year country service requirement, but if you are from those countries that are subject to the 2 year, you must apply for a waiver before switch to H1.

there is no way out of j1 other than waiver,unless you can obtain what is called as hardship waiver.
