Surely you mean a "DUAL" crown fork.

You can't convert it, you will have to buy a new one.

 

If you want a decent single crown fork, I have Marzo 66 I want to sell. Let me know if you want to talk.

The first article (with the Bigfoot Boxxers) was an April fools joke.

 

I would not recommend it - the bottom crown is not manufactured to take all the load of MTB riding without the top crown for strength.

An entire Dual Crown fork is designed to work as is, I would definitely not recommend messing about wiith it.
