Can you have a Redpanda as a pet?

Well, most likely, no. You'd have to get special permission by your government, and even if you do, they aren't cheap. If you're willing to pay thousands of dollars for fixing it, getting all it's shots, and buying ALOT of bamboo, fruit, veggies, and hiring a special vet, AND alot of other special stuff, then MAYBE... but probably not. Unless you live in somewhere like, Japan, then no. Try a raccoon. They're related, just as cute, and not as illegal.
