Tar to decompress and to convert file to .dat format
tar -tvf abc.tar.gz gives me the file name abc.Is it possible to rename the file to abc.dat while decompressing using tar ? Thanks.

Why not rename after decompress?! Do you have any specific requirement?

If you are asking "Will tar rename the file from abc to abc.dat name?", the answer is definitely no.
