Yes, you can.
Here are the steps:
Apply for a restricted US PPL based on your JAA PPL
Take the Instrument written test and pass an Instrument check ride
Take the CPL written test and pass the CPL SE Checkride
Pass the check ride for the CPL ME add on
Apply for the restricted here:
Airmen Certification: Verify the Authenticity of a Foreign License, Rating, or Medical Certification (http://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certification/foreign_license_verification/)
Depending on how current and proficient you are; assume app. 15-20 hrs of training for the Instrument rating.
App. 10-15 hrs for the CPL SE
App. 15-20 hrs for the CPL ME
App. 30hrs of Ground school/briefing/debriefing time
Exact cost obviously depends on where and when and what airplanes.
