No.

It can work either as autonomous ap or as lightweight AP (need separate wlc to make it work.)

Only Cheetah-based APs can become controllers, called Mobility Express.

If you want to use as autonomous then search "convert lightweight ap to autonomous" and you'll find plenty of info including Rasika's guide https://mrncciew.com/2012/10/20/lightweight-to-autonomous-conversion/
