You can. You can get the window re-surfaced.
The reason you can see a scratch is because if you look at the scratch real close up, you will the scratch with rough edges along it. When the light hits the rough bits (which protrude further than the window surface) it refracts at all angles.
If you get the window resurfaced, it removes the protruding rough part of the scratch, and you cant see it anymore. Its still there but you just cant see it (unless you REALLY look closely).
