Nope, it doesn't work that way. You might have to wait millenia while you and your "family" get cycled and recycled through life and heaven until you reach a state of purification that qualifies you to become a God of your own UNIVERSE. Like you and Mrs. God preside over exactly the same setup as we are living in today, having physical intercourse to engender the souls who will be sent to YOUR planets in the bodies which YOU created. Mrs. God is the same woman you are married to when you are "sealed for all eternity" in the Temple ceremony, so pick a good one because you are stuck with her forever and beyond.
Probably the most controversial tenet of the Mormons is they teach that God was once a human, just like the rest of us, before he attained his present status. Naturally this is used as a recruiting incentive, but only for MEN. Women can't become gods under any circumstances, which has more than a few worthy Mormon women frosted. But if they speak out about it, they get excommunicated. It's not a good idea to have any doubts if you plan on staying Mormon.
