Anything "can" turn into a black hole, as long as it is massive enough and dense enough. For example, Earth can turn into a black hole if all its mass is squeezed into a point about a centimeter in radius. The only reason that we don't see this happening is because you can't just make Earth denser than it already is (ever try to squeeze a chunk of putty?). Just because the odds of it turning into a black hole is very small doesn't mean it can't turn into one.

{ADDED} No, a comet cannot become a black hole. It is far too small and light (low mass), and loses material every time its orbit brings it relatively close to the Sun - the characteristic tail is that lost material, which like the head, reflects Sun light so is visible. The only objects cable of becoming black holes are the extremely dense cores of very, very large stars that die as supernovae, and even then, not all them become black holes.

Do all-stars tern into blackholes when they die?

Not all stars do but stars can turn into black holes. Small ones turn in to a black dwarf star when it dies. Medium ones turn in to a neutron then in to a red giant star and then to white dwarf star Large size stars becomes a blackhole..........
