Turn Into a Car, Building or Robot
I can turn into a car, building or even a robot. I’m man made and my siblings and I outnumber you sixty-two to one. My name means, “Play well” in my creator’s native tongue. What am I?
Legos. They can be turned into all sorts of things, including cars, building and robots. If you divided up all the legos ever made, each person on the planet would get 62. Lego is based on the Danish phrase leg godt which means, “play well”.
Life Measured in Hours
My life can be measured in hours,

Fat, I am slow
Wind is my foe.
A candle.

The first two letters of this English word refer to a male, the first three refer to a female, the first four to a great man and the whole word is a great woman.

Celebrate, Hide Their Shame or Commit Crime
Some use me to celebrate,
Others use me to hide their shame,
Others use me to commit crime.
What am I?
Alcohol. People have a drink to celebrate, but also drink to hide their shame. Lastly, drunk driving is a crime.
A mask is also a valid answer. They can be used to celebrate Halloween or at dress-up parties, a mask can hide your shame and masks are used by thieves.
Update: This one has more valid answers than I thought. Money, drugs and night also work.
