If you are talking about the grade in a specific course, you can always discuss the matter with your professor. I would go over all of my previous work and check for grading errors or times when I felt I deserved a higher grade and then politely approach the professor about that. The worst thing that could happen is they say no, and you thank them for taking the time to re-check it and talk to you about it.

I missed a letter grade by .08 of a point, and the professor wouldn't budge since he stated that in the syllabus. It depends on the professor though...I know one of my professors gave me about a point, probably because I participated in class and went to a few office hours.
