Is there a difference between a conscious being and a being who has been programmed to believe it has a conscience?

I'm no expert on philosophy, but I feel like consciousness is a subjective experience. So externally there would be no difference, but I'm pretty sure I'm conscious.
Of course, I've also heard of the illusion of consciousness, but that's where my brain explodes.
