Is it possible to convert one element to another element?

Not through nuclear fission or radioactive decay though.

I mean non radioactive stuff like for example magnesium to zinc.

Nope. Zinc will remain zinc forever unless some form of nuclear reaction occurs.

That said, you can make one element *act* like another one by changing how many electrons are in its outermost shell (called the valence shell). This is called ionization and it’s one of the reasons why high frequency electromagnetic radiation is so dangerous.
