What Size breaker for 6 gauge wire?
You need a 60 amp breaker.
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 is the gauge for 6 Amp?
50 amps
240v nema6-50r outlet wired with 6 gauge wire and 50 amp breaker you need to run a heater with a nema 6-30p can you simply put a 30 amp receptical in place of the 50 amp receptical?
Not legally because the rating of the 30 amp receptacle would have a 50 amp breaker ahead of it. If you reduced the feed breaker to 30 amps and still use the #6 wire, this would be within the electrical code rules.
