Is that possible to convert the file that i creat on vb.net from extension exe to apk to work on the android

No it isn't, because they are very different technologies.

You can create Android/Apple apps (including apk etc) using modern versions of Visual Studio, as there are options such as Xamarin (which uses C# rather than VB, but they are very similar).

It can take a while to get your head around the differences in coding style, because mobile devices have a very different lifecycle for apps (eg: they can be stopped without warning, and restart on the same screen, with no data restored automatically). The good news is that most code is the same as you would write for any other C# program, but you do need to learn the bits that are different.

Converting a VB.NET application from an .exe file to an .apk file to run on Android is not a straightforward process. VB.NET applications are typically built for Windows environments, and Android uses a different operating system and architecture. To achieve this, you would need to rewrite your application using a framework that supports Android, such as Xamarin or React Native, which allows you to develop cross-platform applications using C# or JavaScript respectively.

If you're looking for a way to modify or patch Android applications, you might be interested in using a mod apk. This type of file allows you to apply custom modifications to Android apps, providing additional features or bypassing certain restrictions.
