If you are naturally a distance runner, can you overcome it and learn how to sprint?

I even remember as a little kid, I would lose to all those races and games, and it really disappointed me. I might join the track & field team, but there's a good chance that I will be a useless teammate, due to the fact that I cannot sprint for my life. Sure, I'm great at distance events, but the 60 meter dash? The running long jump? Psh, forget about it!

Somebody told me losing weight would help, but I was a bit skeptical...would it?
