No you cannot of course. If you are working within the intended model of say Z, then you cannot believe for example that there are finitely many undefinable numbers, nor you can believe that there are countably many of them, also just because there is no parameter free finitary formula after which a number is defined this doesn't mean that you lose the known properties of the reals like trichotomy, total ordering, etc...
