There are many nouns that are also verbs, such as fish, dance, cook, etc. There is no conversion necessary.
There is also a tendency by some to use a noun as a verb. I've heard it said, "We're going to cab it to the airport." Don't do it.
The most common form of converting one part of speech to another is using prefixes or suffixes.
Examples:
en + the adjective rich = the verb to enrich
ex + the noun port = the verb to export
the noun sign + ify = the verb to signify
the adjective visual + ize = the verb to visualize
