Assuming you want artificial gravity on something like a space station...
Simply charge a plate of metal (for example) and slide it into the sole of a shoe made of a non-conducting material (such as rubber). The charged plate will now be attracted to neutral and oppositely-charged (semi-/conducting) materials. Assuming that the surface that you want to be able to walk on is made of such a material (and charged accordingly), the shoe will be attracted to the floor and it will feel like gravity is acting on the shoe.
This simply exploits the fact that positively-charged substances are attracted to neutral and negatively-charged substances (and vice-versa). Make something in the shoes positively-charged and it will be attracted to a neutrally- or negatively charged floor.
Not perfect, but at least you can get around.

Mir and the ISS do not. They were/are free-fall environments. Theoretically, if one had a huge cylindrical or toroid area station station like you spot in old sic-fi, you may want to simulate gravity by using spinning the station alongside an axis operating by skill of the middle of the cylinder/torus, ensuing in centrifugal consequences pushing products to the periphery. as a lot as now, no area station has used this technique, with the aid of sheer length of the station which could be required for this to be helpful (too small, and also you'll in simple terms make people truly, truly nauseous to achieve a small outcome).

There are four forces in the universe they are
1.gravitational force
2. electromagnetic
3.strong nuclear
4.weak nuclear
they are classified depending upon the fundamental particles.for example gravitons for gravity. Quarks for electromagnetics.etc since a quarke is not the equivalent of a graviton one can not create gravity using quark...
but your question is profound ... we can counter the force of gravity on a charged body by electric force ...this science is called electrodynamics.

mm.. if you can convert it to something that can spin?
from what i learn.. we can make artificial gravitation with spin..
see those scifi that have space station like giant tire.. the outer layer act as building floor, n the center willbe zero g.

You can't.
Electricity relies on an entirely different force.
