Not entirely, except if you remove or disguise all Magento features. But you can make it harder:

Doing all this just to disguise that you run on Magento is quite expensive, if you did not already build a theme from scratch with no default templates and styles, so you have to decide if it's really worth it.

Not entirely, except if you remove or disguise all Magento features. But you can make it harder:

  • change admin URL, remove downloader directory (you should do that anyway to protect your store)
  • show "404 Not Found" status for forbidden directories like shell and var instead of "403 Forbidden" to not give away their presence. See Recommended method to protect /downloader?
  • change base directories for skin and media, because the typical image paths are easy to recognize
  • Don't build your theme skin upon any of the default base themes and remove those from skin/frontend, otherwise it is possible to recognize the default style sheets (see: Determine Magento version without access to code base)
  • Change the URL routes for pages like customer login, checkout or product reviews. There are extensions that help you with that, like https://github.com/klein0r/magento-language-routes
