Can you back fill a walkout basement entrance?

We're looking to buy a home that is sitting on a downward (sloping down to street level) sloping lot. It has a walkout basement entrance that has an ugly concrete wall and 12 steps that lead to a dark and wet (there is a drain in the concrete floor) basement entrance. Just wondering if we can close off the basement entrance (we don't really need or want it) and back fill it? If we did close it off, would there be a potential for water leakage into the basement?
