Is it at all possible to make a carbon dioxide tank into a high pressure air tank?

The short answer is no. But ...
In theory yes but it would take wrapping with carbon fiber, replacing the valve with a regulator and getting it hydrostaticlly tested. All of this is not that easy to do and not worth the effort not to mention unsafe.
Moral of the story please don't bother or try it would be unsafe and not worth the effort especially when you can get a new steel tank for ~$85.
Good luck,

Can carbon dioxide turns to liquid?
Yes, carbon dioxide will liquify under high pressure.
Is carbon dioxide more soluble under high pressure or low pressure?
high pressure.
How can you compressed carbon dioxide?
With high pressure or by converting it to a solid product such as NaHCO3
Can carbon dioxide form carbonic acid?
Yes. Carbon dioxide will react with water to form carbonic acid, especially under high pressure.
Why do soft drinks fizz?
Soft drinks are also known as carbonated drinks. Have you thought why? Soft drinks contain chuge quantities of carbon dioxide under high pressure. The high pressure causes the gas to remain in dissolved state. Hence, when you open the bottle, the pressure falls, and the dissolved carbon dioxide can no longer remain dissolved, and hence escapes off, as fizzing.
What is carbonated water made of?
Carbonated water is water with carbon dioxide dissolved in it. This is done by placing carbon dioxide under a high amount of pressure. When the pressure eases, the gas is released into the liquid as tiny bubbles.
How caustic soda is made?
By dissolving carbon dioxide with pure drinking water at a high pressure.
Why is carbon dioxide more soluble in high pressures?
because inter molecular distance is very small at high pressure and it goes on decreasing with the increase in pressure.
How do bubbles get in to coke?
Carbon dioxide is forced into the liquid at high pressure, causing some of it to dissolve (actually, even at normal pressures some carbon dioxide will dissolve in water, but using higher pressure makes more of it dissolve).
Why solid co2 is stored under high pressure?
Carbon Dioxide is used for soft drinks because carbon dioxide is more soluble in water than Oxygen.
How can human blood hold carbon dioxide without becoming fizzy like soda?
Blood doesn't become fizzy like soda because the quantity of Carbon Dioxide within blood is minimal in comparison. Fizzy drinks require a large quantity of soluble Carbon Dioxide to be forced into the beverage under high pressure just make it possible to insert that amount.
Why dry ice is stored under high pressure?
solid carbon dioxide is stored undeer high pressure. this is because on decresing the preasure the temp will increase and solid carbon dioxide will be directly changed into CO2 in gaseous state.
