Bottoming out means that the suspension has compressed as far as it can, and usually it doesn't mean that much. Suspension parts frequently have a rubber block that the mechanics fetch up against at full compression.
But it will mean a harder landing that may either damage the bike or the rider.

It's never good to bottom out suspension. If it happens regularly, you're riding harder than the bike is intended. A real hard hit can damage the suspension.

Is it possible to change a single speed mountain bike into a full suspension bike?
This question is a bit mixed up.Single-speed(SS) only tell you that there's only one gear, and full-suspension (FS) only tells you that the bike has both a suspension fork, and a suspension frame.Type of drive(single-speed or geared) is independent of type of suspension setup.A bike can be both SS and FS, although it would be unusual.A bike that was purpose built as a SS will take some tinkering if you want to turn it into a geared bike. There'll be some brackets missing that you'll have to deal with. But one way or another it's usually doable.Turning a geared bike into a SS is usually easier, as it's mostly a question of unbolting things.The opposite of a FS bike is a rigid bike, and turning a rigid bike into a FS isn't really doable.Sure, you can add a suspension fork, that's fairly simple. But getting suspension for the rear wheel requires so much rework of the frame that you'd be better off buying a new bike instead.
Can you put a lock out rear suspension on a mountain bike that only is front suspension?
Not really. There's no hinge for it, and no place for the suspension to go. You'd basically have to cut the bike apart to create the hinge to allow the suspension to move, and then you'd have to build the attachment points for the suspension. It's really not worth the huge effort it'd take.
