Short answer is no. Entry usually will require drilling a small hole in the trunk lid.
Lots of ifs, however. You've really not given a lot of information about your problem.

You'll need to search here or perhaps the 107 forum at benzworld.org for where to drill the hole.
However, I'm assuming you have an ignition key. Look at the attached pdf file to identify the type of key you have. If it's a master key and it won't open the trunk, then drilling the hole will probably be necessary. If you have a valet key, you should contact your dealer with vin and proof of ownership and let them order you a master key which will also open the trunk. If the locks have been changed, the new key won't work however.
