That’s doable, you’ll have to google around until you find one close to those specs that is controllable.

fwiw it’s a led driver, not a ballast.
 
The IDCL -45-500 is really close to what you have, you’ll only be able to get to about 85% brightness though.

you need to be in the voltage range of your existing driver to turn the leds on, and it’s the current that determines brightness. So, if 85% is enough, the 500 ma version will work. If you want 100% or more brightness of the leds, you’ll need to get something that outputs around 600ma or more (and dim it to avoid shortening the lifespan of your leds too much).

the meanwell drivers are fine quality, in my experience, and they aren’t too expensive
