If I re-characterized my Roth IRA to a regular IRA , can I reconvert it back to to a Roth IRA ?

Yes. The IRS lets you make changes from Roth IRAs to regular IRAs and back, more than once. After you re-characterize a Roth IRA to a regular IRA, you can convert it again but not until the following year, or thirty days later, whichever takes longer.
