if you are looking to buy some radiators and they're set up for steam, they may or may not be able to handle hot water. The sections must be connected together across the top as well as the bottom to work with hot-water. Also, you should have them pressure-tested to 30 pounds to make sure they don't leak.
If you're talking about converting an entire steam system to hot-water, there are so many things that can go wrong that it's really not a good idea. It's far more cost-effective and less risky to fix whatever problems you're having with the steam system. For more info, go here:

My company does not recommend or perform the conversion of a steam system to hot-water, and will not work on a system that someone else has converted. We don't need the aggravation or liability.
