There is an option with a command that you have to create a one-line symbol, and use the command to distribute symbol along a path. Then you break the symbols and you have it.

      If you mean convert the line to individual strokes that stay like strokes instead of filled shapes then no, it can't be done.

      OK use the pencil tool to draw your dashed lines. Then select the dotted line. Then go to the top menu modify/shape/convert lines to fill. Each one of your dashes should now be individual. Hopefully, this works for you.
