Sure. You can go to Autozone, they would do it for free. Or, remove your battery terminals for 15 minutes. The only bad thing doing it that way is you lose radio memory, and the ECM has to "re-learn" your driving habits.

But I would not reset the check engine light without first fixing the problem, or at to very least, "know the problem".
