I was burned by hot grease a couple months ago, the scar has sense turned white and doesn't look like it will ever turn back to my normal skin color. ?

Hard to say: When you run your hand over the area that was burned, with your eyes closed does the skin feel the same as the surrounding skin? If it does then the color will probably return in time. If it feels different from the surrounding skin you may have a permanent scar and the color will not return.
