Hmm? *spack* no. Lead is used to block radiation because of how dense it is. It does absord atleast part of gamma radiation's energy, and conduct away the microscopic charge from the beta particle (which is an electron). But just because it absorbs/protects against energy/radiation does NOT mean that it will readily make heavier elements or anything like that.
