Impossible.

yes possible, everything is possible :) use bitcrack or brainflayer, load address list, and run in default, from 1 bit to 256 last bit, if you complete the all bit range, i am guaranty, you will get prvkey for your desired address

Of course you can just bruteforce it but it will take you literally forever so it is not really feasible. If the address was not generated randomly, e.g. it is a brainwallet then you can try searching for the phrase that private key was generated with. However, in all of those cases we still talk about actually performing hashing of private keys to get public keys and later addresses to check if any of them is the one you are looking for. Hashing is one way operation. If you literally want to go from bitcoin address to a private key then it is not possible.
