Depends on the pump. Some small handpumps have a reversible front/insert to the nozzle. Others have a "double-barrel" nozzle in which case you simply use the appropriate one, Others aren't meant to be changed over. If that's the case it's often possible to replace the pump head (or head + hose) with one meant for Presta.

If you're trying to find out if you can install a presta valve inner tube into a rim that previously used the schraeder type valve.....you can but you'll have a small gap around the hole. Problem Solvers is one of the companies that make a type of shim to eliminate that gap so the valve stays upright.
On the other hand, if you want to do the reverse, change the tube type from Presta to schraeder? You can if you drill out the rim with a 5/8" bit, then file the hole so it's smooth. This won't work on a rim that has a high center or a peak in the middle of the rim. The hole area has to be flat if you want to drill.

The type of nozzle you need isn't determined by the tire, but by the tube. And you can put any kind of tube in any tire. You need to look at the tube to determine if it's a Schrader (like on a car), a Presta(narrower) or a Dunlop (unlikely). Schrader-to-Presta adapters are available at pretty much every bike store and only cost a few dollars.

What kind of tube does a mountain bike need?
You need one that match your tire size and your type of valve. The tire size is written on the tire sidewall. Doesn't have to be a perfect match in width, but the right diameter is fairly important. If the valve is the same type as on a car tire, then look for a tube with a "Schrader" valve. If it's a narrow thing, it's probably a "presta" valve.

That's all down to the type of valve that's in the tube in the tire. There's schraeder, which is the same kind that's on a car tire, and there is Presta, which is far narrower and doesn't look the same at all. First identify the type of valve, then go looking for a suitable pump, or a pump with the right adaptor.
