How do you convert a purchased ceiling light fixture that is meant to be hardwired to a swag light that will plug into the wall?

Get enough new wire for the length needed and the link chain to make the swag. Attach the new wire color to color and cover tightly with electrical tape. (Better to solder first if you can) Try to tuck the taped connections close to the fixture to hide. Then thread the new wire thru the chain and purchase a separate plug. The plug will have a place to attach the wires to screws and a cover that snaps over the wire. You're ready to plug in.

You can supply the voltage to the swag from a wall box but the whole purpose of a swag fixture is to have it hang from the ceiling.You are going to have to find a way to support the fixture. If you can not get support from behind the ceiling then the support is going to have to be on the exposed surface side that you can see. You will probably have to span two ceiling joists and hang the fixture some where in between them to suit your purposes.
