1. Is it possible to convert Sodium to Carbon, if so, how?

2. How does one remove electrons from an atom who's first and second shell are "static"?

3. Is it possible to add an negative charge to the first shell of a Sodium atom and thereby converting it to another element without having to destroy its nucleus?

Please forgive me if the answers are obvious, I am new to physics, but do want to know.

To change Na to C you need to lose 5 protons. I am not a chemist, so I don't know how to make Sodium an isotope that could decay.

Is this the same as adding/removing a "thingy" from LEAD. Then I could convert it to GOLD. Shh! Don't tell anyone.

Alchemists have been trying to do that for ages! Hee hee. If you find out how, let me know. ;)

In theory this can be done but it would cast a huge amount of money (far more than the gold would be worth), and the gold would be highly radioactive so wouldn't be useful - unless you wanted a pair of extremely expensive radioactive earings perhaps.

As I know Sodium and Carbon have their own identity. So it can't be converted. But if it so sodium need to loss 5 electron, 5 proton, and 6 neutron. Changing a metal(Na) to Semi-Metal(C) is also a problem.

I'm not pro in chemist so don't angry if not accurate.

Nobody's going to be angry. But we might be angry at you replying to a thread which is over a year old :)
