Can you use 6 gauge wire on A extension cord and put 30 amp plugs on it?
If your question is can you use a #6 flexible SOOW cord and put a 30 amp plug on it, then yes. The breaker that feeds the receptacle that the cord will plug into can be no larger than a 30 amp breaker. What limits the cord capacity to 30 amps is the ratings of the plug on the end of the cord.

What will happen if the plug is pulled from the socket by the cord?
It may damage the cord. You may or may not have a problem if you pull a plug from a socket by its cord. The cord contains wires which are attached, inside the plug, to the protruding blades that enter the socket. That attachment may be very firm, or possibly not so firm. In addition, some plugs fit very firmly inside a socket and consequently are difficult to pull out, and others fit very loosely and are easy to pull out. In the worst case scenario, in which the wires are weakly attached inside the plug, and the plug fits firmly in the socket, the result of pulling the plug out by the cord may be that the wires will become disconnected inside the plug, which will then cease to work properly. And even if the wires do not become immediately disconnected, you may be progressively weakening the connection, if you habitually pull out a plug by means of the cord. Eventually the wiring will fail.
How do you correct defective two wire cords and plugs?
If you have a bad plug on a lamp cord, also called zip cord by some old timers, you can go to the hardware store and buy a replacement. Cut off the old plug and follow instructions for installing the new plug. If you have a frayed or broken wire, you are better off buying a new cord, or if length isn't a problem, cut off the bad part and install a new plug on the remaining wire. If you are dealing with a simple extension cord, your are usually better off economically and from a safety standpoint to just buy a new cord and disposing of the old cord. If the cord is hardwired into an appliance the techniques described.
