DAT is a file type different programmers/programs use to store different type of data.
So converting them to a normal format (what?!) doesn't make much sense.
If you are talking about DAT files which stores video clips, just drag-n-drop them to windows media player or something which plays video clips in similar formats.

A .dat file can be almost anything. Try opening it in Notepad. If you know what type of program you need to open it (audio, video, text, etc.) you can download a viewer for it.

The general rule is do not change a .dat file. If you do, applications may well stop working. I wonder why you want to do this?
