The chip in a modem takes digital computer signals and converts them to analogue ones for transmission across an analogue telephone line. In the case of VoIP you need the opposite, the chip in a VoIP adapter takes in an analogue voice signal and converts it to a digital VoIP one.

Given this difference in function there is a 99.999% chance your modem cannot be modified to perform VoIP adapter functions. The only chance would be if there were some latent functions in your modem that were not being utilised and you found some software that could upgrade the modem to take advantage of them. I would not spend too much time looking though as it's highly unlikely that you have such a chip or if you did that there is such software for it.
