No. You need the native artwork with PSD layers. Or you need to create a new text layer and remove the old one manually. Depending on complexity of image, it might be best to create new artwork.

Is your text in an editable Type layer denoted by T for Type? See screenshot.

If type layer is flattened or rasterized, you cannot select & edit it because it's part of the main image.

Ok thank you! I believe it is rasterized. It is a logo made by someone else saved as a psd file. Is there a way to unraterize it?
