Theoretically yes though it is so unlikely a conversion I would be surprised if the jets and mixing chambers are available from the manufacturer. Natural gas has a relatively low calorific value so a much larger volume of gas is needed than butane or propane.
I haven't heard of anyone commercially bottling natural gas though small scale private bottling is quite successful, harvesting natural gas (methane) from sewage treatment plants. In the absence of bottled methane the has would have to be delivered from the domestic supply via a flexible hose or a permanent metal pipe.
the method when converting gasses is to use different jet sizes required for the new gas in use
it also means that the air shrouds have to be adjusted to maintain the correct burn ratio and get a blue or colorless flame and a possible adjustment or the pressure regulator
Gas is NOT in the domain of the DIY and only a qualified accredited gas fitter should be doing the job
without knowing your model number or mfg it's tough to say 4 sure but i can say that most common mfg do offer a propane conversion kit to use there gas stoves on bottle gas , most often it's a new regulator to install
You need to change the jets , different gasses have a different size hole in the jet.
The manufacture supplies other jets, if the appliance is designed for both gasses.
LP (propane) jets have a smaller hole than Natural (Methane) Gas.
The pressure of LP gas is higher, to be able to suck in more oxygen.
You will need more then new orifices to convert from natural gas to propane. The gas valve will also need to be replaced. Not a good idea converting heater.
