The light socket normally connects to the wire by means of two screws which when screwed in will press the wire down onto a copper contact plate. Strip about an inch, possibly two inches of insulation off the end of your new wire, connect it to the socket, thread it through the lamp (every lamp has its own particular structure, but there is always some kind of hollow space through which a wire can be pulled) and behold, you have rewired your lamp.

No! Most lamp cords are made with 18 guage wire, some speaker wire is made with 18 guage wire too but the insualtion of the wire is very different. Both wires have insulation for their intended uses.

Can I rewire a standard two prong lamp plug so that I can use it as a ceiling lamp?
No problem. But watch the wattage on the bulbs. The heat is going to go the opposite direction. And the lamp is ment to be in the opposite stress position so that it could be much less stable than when sitting.
