As you explained in a later message, you seem only be interested
in the document's properties.

This is possible (but requires a bit of work from you):

  You use the "PropertyManager" API (partially documented
  in Zope's online help system; implemented (and documented via
  docstrings) in "OFS.PropertyManager.PropertyManager")
  to ask the document for its property info
  and to recreate the same properties on the folder.

  You will do this in a script (implemented by yourself;
  there is rarely a need to convert a document into a folder
  (and as Andreas explained, it is usually impossible)).
