The simple answer is NO. The more correct answer is yes you can if you are very technically and mechanically savvy, but if you do so it is illegal to sell the car unless you provide the true mileage of the car (which you won't know). It's not something that you'd want to do.

You were the one who racked up the mileage . . . accept the consequences and don't take it out on the innocent person who picks up the car after you.

You're asking people on here to help you perform an illegal action... I dont think you're going to be welcomed that much nor get a lot of responses on "helping" you out

Not that I would help either, but the milage is stored in the ECU and is only displayed in the cluster.

I wish you hadn't revealed that and let him go to the trouble of taking his entire dash apart for nothing. It would have been poetic justice.
