Yes it is possible to change your gait, even through exercise. I do wall-facing squats. It's the kind of squat that makes it impossible to cheat and use bad form, but it's quite a bit harder. The last time I did 131 total, including 40 in the last set. I'm aiming for 200 or 300.

I noticed differences in how I walk, especially on incline, decline, and walking up/down stairs. These squats teach you better balance and strengthen more muscles. My range of motion is also fuller when biking, instead of the newbie's typical "pedal pushing".

Running barefoot and dancing also affects gait, so why not type of shoes ?
