It is not impossible for a person with a sociopathic personality to become schizophrenic, although one diagnosis does not really relate to the other in any meaningful way as far as predicting outcome. Sociopathy is related to personality traits that are glib, self interested, shallow emotionally, manipulative, and destructive. Schizophrenia is a disorder of the brain that makes a person see, hear, taste, feel, and think things that are not baised on reality. The two really are not related to each other.
