I’m afraid that’s currently not possible. Though there is an open #Contribute > Feature request for it:
> [@Add the option to change a topic to Post Voting format by admin/staff](https://meta.discourse.org/t/add-the-option-to-change-a-post-to-qa-format-by-admin-staff/235249):

> We have added the Q&A format to our Discourse account but it is pretty hidden right now and it has been challenging to get the community to use it for their questions. Is it possible to slow admins to change a message to Q&A format after it is posted? That way we can start educating the community members about this option. It can be similar to the option for switching topics to personal messages and vice versa. backhand_index_pointing_down
