ANSWER:

My question is; is there a software hack that could enable said
feature?

Yes, it’s called TRIM, and is enabled by default on most SSDs on most modern operating systems.

As the question was edited to be more valid, and the content changed slightly, I offer here an updated answer.

There is no way to “reset” cells to remove the electrons trapped in the oxide layer. Once electrons are “trapped”, they are stuck in the oxide layer (usually silicon dioxide) reducing its insulating properties. After a certain threshold, each flash cell cannot be differentiated from its 0 or 1 state, and the cell is then considered “bad”.

TRIM is one technique to reduce the amount of read/write cycles required to maintain a filesystem on the drive, as is the wear-leveling algorithm present in the drive controller’s firmware. Most SSDs are also over-provisioned, so your 120 GB drive actually has a few gigabytes extra, which are swapped in when a bad cell occurs.
