No, even though the two receptacle outlets look alike, on close inspection you will find that the two parallel blades on the 10-30 are thicker than the left parallel blade on the 6-20. This prevents a 30 amp plug (cap) from being inserted into a 20 amp rated receptacle. Also the other way around a 6-20 cap will not fit into a 10-30 outlet because of the spacing between the parallel blades. A 10-30 outlet is wider than the blade spacing on a 6-20 outlet.

No, you cannot use a NEMA 6-20 heater on a 10-30R outlet. The NEMA 6-20 outlet has two flat pins and one round pin, while the 10-30R outlet has two flat pins and one L-shaped pin. The shape and configuration of the pins are different and not compatible, so they cannot be used together.

Can you properly change a 3-prong 240V outlet looks like standard plug but horizontal to the NEMA twistlock 20A style if they use a different number of wires extra ground neutral on a twistlock type?
No. You can't replace a 220V outlet with a 110/220V outlet without running the requisite neutral wire. If you do you will blow out any device that expects the neutral line to be connected.
Can you change the wall outlet to fit a 4 prong dryer outlet?
It's probably more difficult than you might expect. I'm assuming you have a NEMA 5-15R outlet, and you want to plug in a dryer that has a NEMA 14-30P plug at the end of its electric cable. The NEMA 5-15R outlet is by far the most common type of outlet in North America. It has two flat slots (hot and neutral), and a round safety ground hole. It is rated for 15 A and 125 V. On the other hand, most electric clothes dryers have an electric cable with a NEMA 14-30P plug on the end. It has two flat slots (2 hots from 2 different phases, each one 120 V from neutral, and each one rated at 30 A), an L slot (neutral), and a round safety plug. It is possible for an electrician to "fish" a electric cable carrying the necessary phases through the wall from the fuse box to that outlet, and then pull the old outlet and install a new outlet. If one merely did that last part -- pulled the old outlet and placed a new outlet -- without the proper electrical cables in the wall behind it, then the dryer would probably blow the fuse at the fusebox every time it was turned on.

240v nema6-50r outlet wired with 6 gauge wire and 50 amp breaker you need to run a heater with a nema 6-30p can you simply put a 30 amp receptical in place of the 50 amp receptical?
Not legally because the rating of the 30 amp receptacle would have a 50 amp breaker ahead of it. If you reduced the feed breaker to 30 amps and still use the #6 wire, this would be within the electrical code rules.

Can you wire an electric kiln into an electric stove outlet with a NEMA 14-50R recepticle and a 40A breaker?
Yes. Since you want your breaker to be less than the maximum rating of the receptacle this would be fine.
