Yup, it’s perfectly possible. You can get a pretty cheap single speed conversion get online and any bike store should be able to make the conversion for you.
It takes a few tools that you may or may not want to invest in yourself to do it like a lockring/cassette tool.
Sheldon Brown actually has a great tutorial on how to do that. I converted my dual suspension ride that way and I love it. Haven’t looked back. It’s definitely a lot less muck to clean from my bike at the end of the day.
I’ve also included another great resource for SS MTB riders and a link for the naysayers to read.
