A good question indeed. The answer is NO. Trans to cis conversion has not been reported in any organism so far, to the best of my knowledge. Also, there is no chemical process till date to convert tran fatty acids into its cis form. Hence, unlike cis to trans conversion by biological (isomerase catalysed) and chemical (catalytic hydrogenation) means, trans to cis conversion is not possible by any means.
