Sure you can. Ever seen a degaussing ring? We had one at a Best Buy I used to work at. It looks like an inductor (coil) about 30 cm dia, about 1.5 cm thick, no core (obviously), wrapped in electrical tape. Wave it in front of the TV just right, and *POOF* no more warped colors.
The first trick is finding one (I bet a TV repair shop has one). The second trick is waving it just right (you can easily make the screen worse, and you probably will until you get the hang of it).

Depends on the TV. Sonys seem to have a pretty good one built in that pops on whenever you turn the TV on. Listen for the BZZZZZT whenever you turn the TV on.
Oh, yeah, did I mention that you can use the degaussing process in such a way that you can have a magnetic field right next to the TV without any color warping? 'Cos you can. Removal or repositioning of the magnetic field results in another color warping (opposite direction).
