When the divorce is final, you can submit an I-751 with waiver to begin the process to remove conditions and receive your 10-year green card. It's not a conversion, it's removal of conditions.
You will probably need to also speak to an immigration attorney to help you with the I-751 with waiver, to make sure you have a solid submittal.
If the time comes to file the I-751 and the divorce is not final yet, file anyway, with proof that you've begun the divorce process.

Divorce is a family law subject that needs to be addressed on its own.
If you are a Permanent Resident, you will also have to look at the potential to 'remove conditions' under a waiver of the joint filing requirement.
Start reading here, but you may want to hire some help.
This is also a good article.
