Can eddy currents used as conventional currents?

Only in the sense that both Eddy currents and conventional currents result in heat being generated. Eddy currents travel in circles, so they don’t convey electrical energy.

No. We can use any wasteful thing therefore we can use eddy current according to the need but not certainly as conventional current because eddy current can only heat up the system.

Eddy currents are actually created in order to oppose the change in the magnetic field due to current. Therefore, it is an effect of something we are already using for a certain purpose and opposes that purpose. Hence eddy currents cannot be used as useful source of energy except for heating. But as heat is unwanted in electrical systems, eddy currents are usually not useful for transmitting energy in form of electricity.
