Possible to change mind of boutique firm on intern hiring decision?

Talking about small regional boutiques. If you reach out to them and they say they have decided not to be hiring interns this year, would it ever be possible to be so charming to charm them away from that decision? Anyone done it before? If so, how?

I've been in your boots before. I don't think it is worth it to convince them to take an intern. It could be reasons beyond you. Even if you were the perfect candidate, their boss just does not want one, no space, etc.

Focus on other leads.
