Virtually impossible.
For a comet to do this it would have to already contain a stony and/or metallic core (i.e. an asteroid), then slowly over time lose its outer icy layer. However to the best of our knowledge comets do not have such cores, they are ices and dust and a mixture of various sizes of small stones. Once the ices are lost the dust and small stones spread out in the orbit previously occupied by the comet (if this orbit intersects earth's orbit it produces often spectacular annual meteor showers).
