Conversion

In bankruptcy, the transfer of a case from a proceeding under one Chapter to a proceeding under another Chapter, sometimes as a matter of right and sometimes allowed only with the court's permission. 

Can also refer to the taking of someone else's property for one's own use without the consent of the rightful owner (i.e. theft).
