Yes its possible to change your student permit to work permit if you have a work contract thats is. but one thing to remember though is that in case your work contract ends and you try to change your permit again to student they might send you back to your home country. so think twice. Why dont you just try to finish school first you can also work part time?

I dont think convert is correct word. If that MNC is ready to give letter to Embassy saying they need you for the project and you have contract in hand according to rules then no problem in getting the workpermit.
Try to make it as study related workpermit, like thesis work or trainee and also show your grades. In case if it is out of your subject then it would be difficult.

It is possible, but it is not guaranteed that they grant you this work permit.
And if it is refused, you can also loose your study permit because you stopped studying.
