In your mind. If you believe another faith stronger than your own and you truly believe it. I would say you have converted when it's true inside your heart.

Depending on what religion you want to convert to. Some religions require you to learn basic's before one is considered apart of that religion. And other's just take on any who is willing to learn and keep the faith. EDIT: If your going to downrate then don't be a coward to leave a comment

This is mostly a matter of the requirements for the new religion. To become Catholic, for example, is a pretty involved process with classes, etc. On the other extreme, you can become a Unitarian just by thinking "I must be a Unitarian!" :-) Almost every religion has it's own "entry point" recommended for newcomers. In Buddhism, the basic "conversion" is mostly a matter of understanding the fundamental teachings of the Buddha and committing yourself to practicing and learning. There's nothing in particular to "join", although within certain sects there are more formal membership processes.

That depends entirely on the religion you are converting too. If you are trying to become Catholic or Jewish then you have to go to classes and learn all about your new faith. I don't know about Judaism but in Catholicism you have to go through all the bells and whistles that all Catholics go through. You have classes, confession, communion, confirmation, baptism just like you grew up in it but at a faster pace. If you want to be a Jehovah's Witness, you have to do a book study, do fieldwork, stop smoking, get baptized things like that. If you want to convert to a born again kind of religion you generally only have to say a prayer of salvation(and really mean it) and get baptized.
