You'll need to re-write the whole project. How much of the back-end code is reusable depends on how it has been architected. There is no easy webforms to mvc conversion, so you'll need to decide if the value you gained from conversion is greater than the time spent. If there are issues with your webforms site it might be better just spending time to resolve them.

You can have both types in a single project, but you're unlikely to get any real value from that. If you have completely new functionality to implement you could implement new pages as MVC, but how will you handle shared layouts, global code etc etc etc. For anything but the most basic of sites it's not likely to help.

It's also just bad architecture. Have a webforms site or an MVC site, there is zero value in having a mix of both.
