Yes, using Bulk Edit Search & Replace (regular expression mode). Search for authors containing ", " and replace it with &.
However, as theducks says, you could end up with a worse mess. What happens if the example is not "Joe Blogs, Some Person" but is instead "Blogs, Joe, Person, Some"? Doing it mechanically will turn this example into "Blogs & Joe & Person & Some". You would then need to fix these authors, probably using the Manage Authors dialog to merge them.
