Yes and No! It can never actually become a circle but it can get as close to a circle as you like.

A circle is the limiting shape for a regular polygon where the number of sides (vertices) increases to infinity. It would become a circle when the number of sides becomes equal to infinity but since that can never actually happen, the polygon cannot actually become a circle.

Is a circle a quadralateral?

A quadrilateral is a polygon ("many angled") with 4 sides that intersect. Since a circle doesn't have any sides, it cannot be a polygon. A square, a trapezoid, a parallellogram, a rhombus, or a rectangle would all be examples of shapes that ARE polygons.
