Unless it’s content you created and have control over then it’s very hard. Google merely offers a snapshot of the Web based on relevance and popularity, after all. Just look at the trouble U.S. presidential hopeful Rick Santorum is having with his surname being used to refer to something other than himself.

no, you can’t. That would be called censorship and would go against all frededom of speech principles.
A better solution would be to make your own personal website that will appear above any bad results.
a google plus profile, for instance, would always take precendence if someone were to search for your name

Google has a content removal tool that you can use, but the content you want removed from the internet has to be in violation of certain laws. You can access the content removal tool by visiting http://support.google.com/bin/static.py?hl=en&ts=1114905&page=ts.cs
Chances are that Google will not take any action to remove the content in concern. For other ideas and solutions to get information off of the internet see http://www.quora.com/remove-information-online
