Great question. We don't have hex, quad elements in MoFEM currently, so sometimes it would be of benefit to modify existing mesh.
To convert from Hex to Tet-mesh use HTet Volume <range> {unstructured | structured}. For example command: 

HTet volume 1 unstructured
will convert structured hex mesh of volume 1 into unstructured tetrahedral. (see picture below)

Further detail here 
and to convert from Quad mesh to Tri-mesh use 
QTri Surface <range>
