Is there anything i can do to fix this and email them or something? Reply to this Question

Yep, better to sound ambitious and go-getting than not! Try not to dwell on what was said. Even if you don't get this job you will get a good one elsewhere.

 That's not stupid at all, it's much more honest than some recycled manufactured line. It sounds ambitious. If you try to go back on it, you will sound wishy washy. If you don't get the position that's not why. That question is designed just to make sure you HAVE ambitions, not to hear a speech about your dedication to a company you don't work at yet.
Send them a thank you tomorrow (email is fine) and DO NOT mention that or try to change your answers from the interview. Just say thank you for taking the time to meet with you etc... Your answer was fine, it shows ambition and goals. That's what they want to hear.
