Can I get a speeding ticket dismissed if there is a mistake on it?
The time and place is correct on the ticket but the date where the officer signed is the same date as the court date. Do I have anyway to get this dismissed and or should I even bother to bringing it up when I appear?

In my experience, the courts will not dismiss a ticket (or any legal summons or complaint) based on what is plainly a typographic error which does not effect the fundaments of the ticket and which is also easily explainable and understandable. If the rest of the ticket is correct, it is highly unlikely that you would get any where with this argument.
