Okay, what I just posted was the official response which is kind of hard to follow. My reading of it is basically you cannot unless the balance was from a gift card and where you live (not many places from what I can tell) obliges Apple to refund unused gift card balance when requested. Then you would be have the cash back to do with as you please.
