Yes, it should be possible. Wallpaintings have been removed from churches etc. The normal technique is to "stick" some sort of support to the front of the plaster to enable removal, then when it is fixed to a new back, this provisional support can be removed.
Sounds simple, but there are many considerations including the nature of the paint and the plaster. There is some general information at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detachment_of_wall_paintings I would very definitely recommend seeking professional advice from a local museum, university etc with experience in this type of work.
