MERRY CHRISTMAS
I don't think so.
Good may have to do things that appear evil, Things that will give it nightmares for years, but it cannot BECOME evil. Once it becomes evil, there is no coming back from that, and when that is the case, you've not changed a thing - you've merely replaced one evil with another.
BUT - if good actually becomes evil, it probably won't have the nightmares, so there IS that.
Life is full of choices.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
