another question. is there a way to add ringworld and sphereworld as possible planet types when creating maps using automated map generation.

Try calling for them in the planet size in SystemTypes.txt. I do not know if it will work or not.

No, you cannot do that. Planets cannot be changed into stars. If you destroy a Planet, you get an Asteroid Belt, which also cannot be changed into a star.
