A Woman, Under Islamic law of KHULA, may initiate a divorce against her husband as follows:
Khula' is when wife has a dislike for her husband and ASKS HIM to divorce her in exchange of a sum, or all or part of her MAHR. In such a case, when the husband agrees to divorce, he forfeits the power of revocation, except when the wife agrees to take back the money or ransom she gave. It is not permissible for a woman to seek divorce from her husband unless she has borne ill-treatment from him or unless she has an acceptable reason which requires their separation. Said the Prophet, "If any woman asks her husband for a divorce without some strong reason, the fragrance of the Garden will be forbidden to her."
IF SO, YES! U CAN

But your marriage registered under special marriage act. and your wife converted after the marriage. So I suggest you to get decree of divorce from competent court.
