No. A co owner cannot "remove" the other co owner from the title. If you want their interest they must transfer it to you voluntarily by executing a deed. However, that is not good idea if they are on the mortgage because they will remain responsible for paying the mortgage.

Can a cosigner of a mortgage who is not on the deed legally become the primary owner without notifying the primary owner?

The only way to become the owner of real property is by deed or by inheritance. A person cannot make themselves the owner. They must acquire ownership via a deed from the legal owner. If you co-signed a mortgage for land you do not own then you are simply a volunteer who agreed to pay the mortgage on land you do not own. That doesn't give you any ownership interest in the property. If you are a co-owner of the property who also co-signed a mortgage, you cannot make yourself the "primary" owner of the property. You would need a deed from the other co-owner.
