Maybe for one vampire. Not for the whole species. But whether your DM would even allow that much is up to them. I probably would cause Wish is a really powerful spell.

I really like D&D, especially Ravenloft, Exandria and the Upside Down from Stranger Things. My pronouns are she/they (genderfae).
Wish falls squarely in the territory of "ask your DM," and it's entirely possible they come up with a way to make that vampire suffer. If you are the DM, it's entirely up to you: would it? Does the vampire word the request in such a way that it cannot be misconstrued as anything else? What's to stop the spell simply failing, which is well within its parameters?
Some ideas I have would be:
The vampire is transported to a world where there is no sunlight, or may be taken to the Underdark and cursed to never leave.
The vampire is transported back to a time when they were no longer a vampire (however soon may vary: it might be seconds)
The vampire no longer suffers vulnerability to direct sunlight, but may somehow be vulnerable to moonlight.
The vampire no longer suffers vulnerability to direct sunlight, but whilst in it takes vulnerability to all attacks.
The vampire explodes, removing their vulnerability to direct sunlight... and everything else.
Zero is the most important number in D&D: Session Zero sets the boundaries and the tone; Rule Zero dictates the Dungeon Master (DM) is the final arbiter; and Zero D&D is better than Bad D&D.
"Let us speak plainly now, and in earnest, for words mean little without the weight of conviction."
While a DM does have great leeway in how they apply Wish, it is worth noting there is supposed to be a sense of proportionality to the Wish result. Here, wishing for a singular vampire to no longer be vulnerable to sunlight, the direct consequences should be fairly small, isolated mostly just to the subject of the spell. If the wish were something like “I wish every vampire lost vulnerability to the sun,” the DM might consider something more global,, like changing the wavelength of the sun itself.
It is also worth noting that this is a DM-discretionary Wish with some guidance within the rules. Vampirism and Wish are already linked to one another in the rules themselves—Wish is spelled out as a cure to being a vampire. Given that the rules as written already provide a metric for “no longer sensitive to sunlight”—curing the vampirism—I would probably cure the vampire. Additionally, since the outcome would be a strictly rules as written application of Wish, rather than a truly discretionary version, I would probably not make the player roll for the possibility of losing Wish.

Is possible remove with Wish, the vulnerability of vampirism with light of sun?
