Is it correct all hubs can be converted to 9mm thru axle, if so how ?

No - well not easily. No problem if you are running a proII but whole axle change for most Shimano's IIRC

I'm running a Commencal front hub, I've removed the std skewer and also removed right end cap, which the 5mm skewers sits in but cannot remove the other side. When it is removed what then ?

Hubs have spacers at their ends which align the hub in the drop-outs so that the correct disc spacing can be achieved. In theory hubs can have these spacers made so they can allow for larger axles but this isn't always the case due to how the bearings are housed in the hub and how the spacers are retained in the hub after. Hope Pro2's can use different spacers as can Goldtec and Chris King hubs plus I'm sure some others that members know about. It sounds easy enough but it's not always the case.
