Reposing is done by cutting and filling at the joints. You can use a piece of brass rod or paper clip to hold the parts more securely. Conversions would be subject specific.

Into what are you planning to convert which figures?

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

I don't have a specific project in mind. I would like to learn the technique to add to my modeling skills. I would imagine sub-topics to be arm  & leg postioning, hiop rotation ect.

Shepherd Paine's book, How to Build Dioramas (both editions; Kalmbach Publishing) have a chapter that covers how to modify and paint figures!! This is what I've used with great success!
