Hi,
A USB-C connector is physically bigger than a µUSB 2.0 connector, so the gap in the case will have to be enlarged to accommodate this, losing built in support for the connector. Also it is higher so hopefully there is room in the case for this as well.
The mounting lugs on the USB-C case are different and most probably there is not enough space on the board to create new solder tabs to hold the different connector securely in place so as to take the mechanical strain, rather than placing it all on the smd soldered pins.
The USB-C connector has 24 pins versus 5 in the µUSB 2.0
Even if you cut away the unwanted pins, leaving only the 5 required, getting these pins to align with the appropriate connection on the board might not be easy to do. The 2 data pins and the VDD pin may not be able to be aligned with the board, due to different pin spacing. The Gnd pin which is at both ends of the USB-C connector will somehow have to be wired to the appropriate place on the board. This will be for one way only insertion of a USB-C cable. If wanting to be able to insert it either way, essentially you will need to be able to connect 10 pins to the board
You are not going to get USB-C functionality either just by using a USB-C connector as the phone is not set up for it. This would require getting the 24 wires from the connector and also the required associated circuitry to the USB controller which most probably is in the CPU and also altering the firmware to suit.

Of course it's real. On this phone, it's not that easy, but it's possible. Disassemble the device, remove the motherboard. With a soldering iron of sufficient power, replace the lead-free solder of the connector with Rose or Wood alloy so that it is easier to desolder with a hairdryer. Replaced, heat the connector with a hair dryer at 250-300 degrees. As soon as the alloy / solder becomes liquid - remove it with tweezers. The board must be fixed so that it does not crawl on the table and it is convenient to work. Heat no more than 2 minutes! Risk of overheating soldering next! If it does not melt, increase the temperature of the hair dryer by 15-20 degrees. Take your time, be patient, repeat the above cycles of operations carefully until you succeed. THE MAIN THING - DO NOT OVERHEAT THE BOARD WITH A HAIRDRYER!!! DEGREES ON DIFFERENT SOLDERING STATIONS - DO NOT MATCH!!! Use a braided soldering iron to clean the holes and pads. Install the new connector, tinning it to break off the oxides and keep the soldering neat. Solder it with POS-60 solder, soldering iron. That's all. But remember that if you do not have the basic knowledges, then you can only make things worse! Better contact a professional. Good luck!

@johnmo89 what type if hair dryer are you using that creates that kind of heat? Micro USB and USB-C have the same size? Will it fit to get reassembled? Whats the pin layout for the different connector? Can you connect the USB C to the same traces and still have the same connections?
-Milwaukee M18 BHG-502C cordless hair dryer
-Type C (8.34 × 2.56 mm), Micro USB (7 × 2 mm) of course there is a difference and I'm sure that the person who was going to make a replacement knows about it
to answer the rest of the questions, I strongly recommend to use Google
