Locate them in the finder, or Windows explorer, and rename their extensions. My understanding is that iTunes and iOS rely on file extensions to categorize, but at the end of the day all those files are just AAC. So, to make a ringtone, you'd create the AAC file and rename it to .m4r. Music is .m4a, books are .m4b. Since they are all AAC "under the hood", you can rename the extensions with no actual conversion required. Also, ringtones have a max length of around 40 seconds, and alert tones I think around 10.
