Can I make a volcano?

This part of Indiana I live in is pretty flat. Dull, right? So I figure, why not have a volcano? Now... I get my magic drill machine that can drill as deep as I want it to drill.

If I drill a deep enough hole, say through the crust of the Earth, will it turn into a volcano?

The crust is about 45km ish thick where you are. Get digging!

And the deepest hole ever dug was 12km

Don't step on my dreams! Anyway, I said it was a magic drill.
