Just wondering if this can be done as i think the tyres and rim interface is slightly different? ive discovered a slight bit of wear to the sidewall of my tyres and i have a set of new regular tyres there i could use. i have a race this weekend so hoping i dont need to drop another £70-80 on tubeless tyres and i can just use the regular ones with some tubes in. Cheers for any info.

You should be fine. Some may even go up without tubes! It has been done.
Dependent on brand, willpower and patience.

Just use regular ones with a bit of sealant.
