Iptables can not translate from one protocol to another.

The closest thing you could do is using something like redsocks. [1]
With iptables you can redirect packages based on their destination IP,
destination port, linux user account, and or process/session id.
Redsocks accepts them and can forward them to another http or socks proxy.

But what's the point? It's a real hack.

A clean solution would be to add http proxy support to Tor [2] or to add
socks support to the applications. Torsocks can be used as a hack.
