Helium is an inert gas, because the first electron shell is filled with two electrons, which means that no valence bonding is possible. Therefore, helium will not react with any other element.

Helium and Oxygen are different chemical elements, so no there are no chemical process that can convert one into the other. Nuclear processes inside stars can convert Helium into heavier elements such as Carbon and Oxygen, but these are beyond the range of current or planned thermonuclear reactors, as they require much higher temperatures and pressures than for conversion of Hydrogen into Helium.

No, helium is a noble gas, meaning that it is inert and shall not react with anything.
