No, there is no way for the end-user (you) to automatically convert an application from an iPhone format to Android. iPhone apps are written in a programming language called Objective-C, while Android uses Java. For an iPhone app to run on Android, the developer would have to "port" the application from Objective-C to Java. Most developers will tell you that there is really no easy way to do this and most of the time they just re-write the program...
