I'm born with spina bifida. will i ever be able to get a strong pelvic muscle from working it or is it impossible? started using a machine for it

Depends: It depends in large part on the level and severity of your specific case. If there is neurological supply going to the muscle to allow it to function, then training can absolutely be if benefit to improve strength and function. If that muscle group has no neuro supply, the effect of a conditioning or strengthening program on it may be minimal.
