What happens if you rewire a lamp to active ground vs active neutral?

Nothing bad will happen with a simple lamp; it doesn't really care which way electricity is flowing through it. For more advanced electronics, changing poles could have other adverse effects.
Note that this refers to the lamp alone. Also make sure the armature you are placing the lamp inside does not give you surprises from connecting your active ground to things you don't want it to.

How do you rewire a NEMA 5-20 plug with a standard 3 prong plug?
A NEMA 5-20 plug is a standard 3 prong plug. It wires the same as a NEMA 5-15 plug (Ground wire to the "D" contact, Hot to vertical terminal and neutral to the horizontal terminal (with the Ground terminal either at the top or bottom)).A 5-20P plug has the neutral blade rotated 90°. The 5-20R receptacle usually has a T-shaped neutral hole, to accept both 5-15P and 5-20P plugs.

What to do with no ground in wall but ground wire in fixture?
Very often the ground wire in the fixture is ignored, or just connected to the box, if there isn't a conductor to connect to. This, however, is a code violation as any fixture with a ground wire is required to have it properly connected to an equipment grounding conductor back to the panel. This is for YOUR SAFETY. Technically you should rewire the circuit with the proper conductors. It is BAD PRACTICE to connect the ground wire to the neutral or white wire because this could create a hazard of its own.

Can you connect the ground wire from a light fixture to anthing in the metal box that does not have a ground coming from it?
I always connect the ground wire to the box. However, if there is no real ground wire running back to the panel it really does you no good. The NEC requires that you rewire the circuit with the proper conductors. Remember that the ground is for your protection. Without a proper ground, you run the risk of injury or death if the fixture wiring fails.
