I suspect you mean GFIC breaker. The dryer will not cause the breaker to fail.
What would happen if a 240V breaker was on and someone attempted to turn on the clothes dryer?
Don't understand this question. If the breaker is on, then the dryer would function normally, if the breaker your are referring to is the one for the dryer. If the breaker is off then no function. A dryer runs on 220.
Can you convert a gas dryer 120V hookup to an electric dryer 240V hookup?
Chances are there is more than 1 outlet connected to the 110volt circuit you are looking to convert. So therefore the easy answer is No. The 240volt dryer circuit must be a dedicated single circuit for the dryer only.

Does a gas dryer have to have its own dedicated gas line?
it does not have to have a separate line from the utility...but it typically has a line running from the already existing line within the home... like remove an elbow from the furnace line and install a tee, then a shutoff valve, then the line to the dryer. After the line arrives in the viscinity of the dryer, it should have another shutoff valve prior to connection to the dryer. Local codes may require additional fittings ot shutoffs... we love our gas dryer... wouldn't have an electric model...
