Yes you can, but the support brackets that cradle the fin tube usually are also the point of attachment for the front cover. If the new cover is not compatible with the old bracket, you would have to fabricate a method to reattach the fronts. I think an all new baseboard assembly is the best way to go in most circumstances.

What is the difference between hot water heating system and warm air heating system?

A hot water heating system (hydronic) uses heated water to circulate from a boiler to baseboard radiators or convectors, where the heat is wanted. This is done through a series of piping and pump(s) that move the heated water around. Warm air systems use a furnace to heat air and a fan to move the warm air through ducts to the point of use.
