Depends on the recipe. In some cases the larger grains of the sugar will ruin the texture and cause the mixture to not mix correctly, in other cases nothing will happen. If you are making a glaze out of confectioner's sugar and water, then regular sugar will not work.

How much confectioners sugar do you need for 1 cup of granulated sugar?

Cornstarch is added to confectioners (powdered) sugar to prevent the sugar from lumping, so the amount is quite minimal. And adding cornstarch to granulated sugar isn't what makes it confectioners sugar. Confectioners sugar is much finer and softer than granulated sugar, it has a texture much like that of cornstarch. So you would have to be able to grind granulated sugar into a very fine powder in order to make it like confectioners sugar.
