Is it possible to change to box (with four corners in one end) to have only
two corners in the other end?

And how do I do it?

It's called the prism object.  Read up on it in the docs.

  Do you mean if you can scale any box-shaped object to appear as a prism
like you describe, or if you can create a shape with 5 faces like you
describe?
  In the first case the answer is no: You can't scale an object in such
non-uniform way.
  In the second case there are quite many possible solutions. I'm a bit
busy right now so I don't have the time to write some pov-code, but I'm
sure someone else will be willing to help with that. :)
