Hello.

Ideally speaking, yes we can & to be practical, very rarely this is possible.

Properties/behavior of any material in the universe are solely dependent on the atoms & its constituent particles.

Insulators are consisting of atoms having very few free electrons & conductors are made of of atoms having large number of free electrons.

Ideally speaking, we can convert any material into other.

For example, if we reduce temperature of materials such as Copper below minus 234.5 degree centigrade then it starts operating as superconductor (resistance becomes zero).

Let’s take one more example.

Consider PVC/rubber as an insulator (which is generally used to insulate conductors in cable/wires). Now if this cable carrying current comes across harsh environmental conditions such as increase in temperature, moisture, etc. then it may lead to leakage of current through the insulator. But it will never act as conductor.

So one cannot convert an insulator into conductor or vice-versa. Constituent particles of material are cause of their nature/behavior.

If one is able to change the atomic structure, then one can convert any material into other.

Hope this helps!

Thank you!
