The common misconception is that the difference between a shallow well and a deep well is the depth to which you dig to hit water. While this may be true in some cases, this isn't the basis of classification. A shallow well is one where the primary source of water is an unconfined aquifer and a deep well is one which is fueled by a confined aquifer.

What are the steps in converting deep well water pump to shallow well water pump?

A deep well submersible pump can be simply placed into a shallow well and it will work. These pumps actually pump water directly and do not rely on suction. Simply cut your tube to desired length and place the deep pump in the shallow well. -NOTE- this does NOT work the other way - a shallow or jet pump is just that and can never work in a deep well.
