Answer 1

You need to parse them first, using e.g. Int32.Parse() with the correct cultural specifier. Once you have it as a plain integer, it's simply a matter of calling ToString() on it, again with the correct cultural specifier.

An alternative solution is to walk the string character by character and just replace any character that is a Persian digit with the corresponding (west) arabic numeral. Other characters can then be preserved as-is, if required.

If the string really contains a number, you should go with the integer parsing method. If it is not just a number, but really a phone number, serial number etc, you might need to use the replacing algorithm instead.
