you may be able to ask the agent to pass on your offer to the owner of the property but only the owner will be in a position to change the rental on the property.

There's nothing stopping you making an offer on the rental, it really depends from the landlord/agents viewpoint how many applicants they have, whether you seem like a good tenant and how long you intend staying in the property.
