No, starch can not break down fat. they are different bio-molecules.
Amylases (enzymes) break down or degrade starch.
Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch into maltose, a type of sugar. Hydrochloric acid in the stomach also helps break down starch into simpler sugars during the digestion process.
Bile and Amylase are the two enzymes that break down starch into sugars.
In the mouth.
Enzymes that break down starch, protein, and fat are specialized biological catalysts produced by living organisms. Amylase breaks down starch into sugars, proteases digest proteins into amino acids, and lipases break down fats into fatty acids and glycerol. These enzymes function by lowering the activation energy required for biochemical reactions, allowing for efficient digestion and metabolism of nutrients. Their specificity and efficiency are crucial for maintaining proper physiological processes in organisms.
The digestion of fat will begin in the small intestine, whereas the digestion of starch which begin in the mouth (the mouth contains the enzyme amylase, which helps break down starch)
Amylase has a shap which allows it to wrap around and cut up starch. Lipase breaks down the fat to fatty acids and glycerol Amylase has a shap which allows it to wrap around and cut up starch. Lipase breaks down the fat to fatty acids and glycerol

Yes you do

Yes, humans can break down starch effectively for digestion through the action of enzymes in the saliva and small intestine.
Enzyme that break down fatty acids are called lipases. Bile is a substance made in our liver which contains salts that breaks down fat into smaller droplets. The pancreas also contains a substance called pancreatic juice which contains numerous enzymes that work to break down things such as fat, protein and starch.
