Yes, although it was by accident....It is very similar to "The Changeling," I 
believe it was a second season episode in which a 20th century probe called
Nomad, designed for agricultural research, collided with a meteoroid and in
the process of repair became conscious.  Its original mission, "sterilize
" for biological contamination (or something like that) became perverted into
"sterilize all imperfect life forms.." which meant all humans.  A man named
Jackson Roykirk was the man who designed the probe, and the probe confuses
him as Capt Kirk...Eventually, Kirk confuses its brains out, and it self
destructs after they beam it out of the ship.....(I may have missed base on
one or two details, but that is the gist of the story)
