Not my words
You can't do it chemically, like alchemists tried to, but you can do it physically. It's actually been done before by stripping protons from the lead atom until it turns into an atom of gold. There's more than one way to transform lead to gold (nuclear reactors actually do it accidentally sometimes), but they all take a ridiculous amount of energy since lead is a really stable element that likes to hold onto its protons.
