Can you change a brush to a different kind of brush? for example change a smudge brush and make it a regular brush.

Yes

With the brush tool selected hold down Ctrl+Alt (Cmd+Opt on Mac) and click on your smudge brush (or any other type of brush) . That will load it without changing tools.

If you want to save it as a standard brush click at the top right of the brushes panel and choose New Brush Preset.

Oh hell ya man thanks ill try that.

That works (not necessarily the way I want it to work). But it does get the job done. When I try it, it will turn the brush function into the function of the last selected brush. Is that how it should work?

Select the brush tool first (or another tool such as the smudge tool if you prefer) then use Ctrl+Alt click to select the brush shape.

That works for occassional use of a new shape but if you want to use a shape regularly do the above steps then save it as a new brush preset. When you save it you choose whether to include the tool (brush, smudge etc) in the preset.
