Can a retail investor hedge against interest rate changes like banks can?

Let's say that I borrow 100K from a bank, with a variable interest rate. Is there a way for a retail investor like me to hedge against interest rate changes so that effectively I turn my variable-rate loan into a quasi fixed-rate loan, and, naturally, pay a premium for that? I guess derivatives, but how exactly?
