I'm pretty sure there's no way of doing that, I mean they're not even similar formats like .jpeg and .png, they're totally different.

You could export the model from the mpq, attach the skin, change the model name and then reimport it
Btw, please look for the appropriate forum to post questions like this

Do you mean you want to use custom skins on in-game models? If so, then you just have to import them and change their file path to the correct string (eg. for Footman texture, you must import a custom texture and name it to 'Textures\Footman.blp').

blp = IMAGE FILE
mdx = MODEL FILE
Well note there's probably a language barrier or something here making it difficult to get the point across (at least that's what I'm assuming). If he wants the skin as a separate model then yeah, export the model from the mpq and edit it externally, but note that that's not "converting" so to say, more or less creating a workaround.
