There is a possibility epilepsy can go away through the years, but it commonly stays with you for the rest of your life.
Usually epileptic people take medication for their condition to ease it, and there are surgical procedures you can do to get rid of a lot of the epileptic episodes.
So really, there is no actually 'cure' yet, (like what the columnist said below me) but there is always a chance of it slowly going away and a bigger chance if you take good neurological medication with it. And surgery can better the chances, as well.
So if at all you are intersted in those kind of things, you can always go to a Neurologist for options.

Hey,
My dad has epilepsy, and while there is really no cure except for surgery, there are tons of meds out there to help this condition.
Hope I helped!

Currently there is no cure for epilepsy. With luck they might find a cure one day. For some people it does eventually just go away.
This is what I found about the likelihood of it going away taken from website National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke
One study found that children with idiopathic epilepsy, or epilepsy with an unknown cause, had a 68 to 92 percent chance of becoming seizure-free by 20 years after their diagnosis. The odds of becoming seizure-free are not as good for adults or for children with severe epilepsy syndromes, but it is nonetheless possible that seizures may decrease or even stop over time. This is more likely if the epilepsy has been well-controlled by medication or if the person has had epilepsy surgery.
