Cannot easily: Your genetic makeup results in the prominent display of veins in your extremities. Pumping iron, working out tend to make them more pronounced. Gaining weight will "hide" them with underlying fat. Spray tan may hide them temporarily. Check out www.Phlebology.Org, and see phlebologist in your area who can properly evaluate your veins and advise you accordingly.
