How many kwh does a 200w light bulb use?
In ten hours, a 200W bulb will use: 10 * 200 = 2000 Watt-hours = 2 kwh
Can you use a higher watt halogen bulb safely in a floor lamp i.e .a 300w for a 230w in a floor lamp?
Halogen bulbs generate a lot of heat and for that reason the power (watts) is limited, to prevent a fire hazard. Each light fitting should be marked with a power limit which should be observed. Without additional information a 300 w bulb should not be put in a fiiting that previously had a 230 w bulb.

Is it ok to put a 200w bulb in a 100w outlet?
No. The heat from the larger bulb will damage the socket, and is a fire hazard.
Can a screw in bulb fixture be converted to hold a halogen bulb?
No, not directly. You can buy Halogen bulbs that are made to be used in a standard light socket. They are for sale at the standard outlets. I have a number of these in my house, and I use these in some of my light sockets. Just for you information I have one in my lap as I am typing this it is a Philips Master 120 Volts 60 Watt bulb. The only condition is that you have to get a specific bulb for dimmer circuits, a standard halogen does not work with dimmers. The bulbs have ceramic insulator protecting a balast circuit, the dimmer bulbs have a rather large ceramic end, that is sometimes enclosed inside the standard light globe. All the standard bulb manufacturers should sell these. You just cannot use Halogen bulbs in enclosed lights unless they are made for this purpose, as is the dimmer variant I wrote about.
