Welcome to the forum. When you get a chance the net time you login, stop by our "Introductions" area.
You do know that "clips" are used to feed magazines. If you are using the word "clip" in place of "magazine", there are people here who pick up right away that you are not too familiar with firearms parts.
Could you replace the tube (your spell checker used the word "tub") and have a magazine feed?
Yes, but, there is a lot of work and machine time involved. And parts modifications, too.
Would there be any advantage to coverting a tube feed to a magazine feed?
The only advantage is would provide is for quick loading.
It would be cheaper to purchase a good AR platform rifle.

Buy a Browning BLR if you want a removable magazine lever action.

It can be done. Would help if you were a tool and die maker with a complete machine shop, or had enough money that you use a wheelbarrow for a wallet.
There is no simple, cheap and easy way to do this. You DID notice a magazine inserted from the bottom would have to pass through where the lever is located?

No real practical way. As others mentioned there is the Browning BLR if you want a lever action that is fed from a box magazine.
Much like a pump shotgun, if you are wanting to use such a firearm for "tactical" use, you need to learn how to compensate for the disadvantage of having a somewhat slow to reload platform, and learn how to top up efficiently, and port load rounds through the ejection port efficiently once you run the mag dry.
The only other advantage I see in the box mag for a lever gun is that it opens up the use of pointed projectiles for better ballistic coefficients to increase range.

Really, don't worry about it anyone who is familiar with firearms knows what you mean by clip. It is just some new PC gun thing. I would be more concerned about some one who can not spot a worn sear.
