你 不 可以 把 自己 变成 为 一个会 很 流利 地 讲 这种 语言 的 人
what does this sentence translate to? especially the 会 很。。。 part and also when is it optimal to use 把 and when is it not?

I’d say “You can’t transform yourself into a person who can speak this language very fluently.” 会 would correspond to “can” and
很 would correspond to “very.”

I’m not an expert on 把 but I would note that the usage of 把 allows us to put 自己 on the less crowded side of 变成为. (That is assuming there would be some grammatically acceptable alternative, which I’m not sure of in this case.)

ahh right ok, could you potentially give another example of 把 being on the less crowded side?

Here are a few sentences (from Glossika, hopefully fair use) with semi-literal translation:
你把好消息告诉你的朋友们了吗？ You ba good news tell your friends le ma?
你把我们的新地址给邮局了吗？ You ba my new address give post office le ma?
我觉得你应该把头发剪得很短。 I think you should ba hair cut very short.
请把每题的答案分别写在单独的一张纸上。 Please ba each question’s answer separate and write on independent sheet of paper.
为什么你要把所有出问题的事都怪在我身上？ Why you must ba everything that goes wrong blame me?
