You do not necessarily have to include "writ of" in a sentence. Here is an example of this term's use, taken from the American Library Association website (address follows the quote): "On Monday, October 29, 2001, the U.S. Supreme Court denied certiorari." On the other hand, "writ of" is often technically and grammatically correct, as in: "The defendant's attorney filed a petition for a writ of certiorari."
You could file a petition for reconsideration; however, this is unlikely to be successful. Typically, when the US Supreme Court denies certiorari, the decision of the last appellate court to rule on the case becomes final, and the matter is considered res judicata (legally concluded).

No. The US Supreme Court receives approximately 8,000 petitions for writ of certiorari (cases asking for appeal) each year, and can not possibly hear all of them. The Court chooses approximately 75-85 of the cases they consider most important; the remainder are denied certiorari (denied an appeal), so the decision of the last court to hear the case stands (is final).
