Probably not. Depends on the rim but usually most rims are convertable to tubeless.
There are two methods to ghetto tubeless.
1) the smaller split inner tube method. This requires a good rim strip, for 26" rims a 20"-24" inch inner tube and sealant
2) the gorilla tape method (which I prefer) which requires a roll of gorilla tape (needs to be gorilla tape, normal duct tape is not going to cut it), an extra valve (can be cut from a extra inner tube but can also be bought) and sealant.
Not going to go through the whole method here since you can easily google the methods.
