Offer Renegotiation

As the title states, I accepted a full time offer for an energy trader position and in hindsight I should’ve asked for a higher salary given my experience. I’m wondering if it’s possible to renegotiate the terms of a contingent offer or if it’s too late since I already signed.

Background: I currently intern at the same firm in the trading division and I graduate in 3 weeks. The offer is contingent on me completing undergrad.

I should've clarified, half of the job duties include fixing errors with deals associated with the new software. Something most of the current traders are unable to do which means more work for the director to fix, hence my position. When I say experience, they recently hired a new employee with zero knowledge of pretty much all of our products along with practices. Because I no longer require training for the role and have more knowledge in terms of troubleshooting issues since I've spent so much time on the desk, I feel as though I'm in a position to ask for a higher salary. I realize this is definitely on the cocky side however, the worst they can say is "no".
