Information
There is no way with simply a click to change a normal unit to a hero (e.g. a footman to a paladin). You will have to find a hero that matches it a bit, copy it and edit the stats.

Example
OK, we want to convert our footman to a hero footman. How do we do?
Pick a paladin (just any hero), right-click and press "copy" then press CTRL + V (paste) and now you have a new hero.
Take your footman and start copying data from it, like unit-name, model, icon, soundset.
If you want to convert the spells aswell you will have to open Object Editor too. Find the abilities the footman has and set the
Code:
Stats - Hero Ability
to True and start editing the spells.

Done
Now you have a brand new homemade hero ripped off from a standard unit!
