Not through nuclear fission or radioactive decay though.
I mean non radioactive stuff like for example magnesium to zinc.

The technical term for this is *transmutation*. It is possible, but very difficult, and it necessarily involves nuclear reactions: the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines which element it is, and changes to that are nuclear reactions by definition.
If you’re breaking a larger element down, you’re causing fission or radioactive decay; and if you’re building a larger element up, you’re causing fusion.
