Juristically, you can resign from the NPT whenenever you want. Politically, it can be a bad thing to do, of course.
The only country that ever resigned was North Korea (in 2003). Iran is still a party to the treaty. They have even (after alot of internatioanl pressure) signed the additional protocol that largely extends the possibilities for IAEO inspections.
