Hello App Shark,

You cannot convert the Master Detail Relationship to lookup if you have any Roll-up summary fields on the Master Object.
For converting goto the Setup --> Child SObject --> Master Detail Field --> Change Field Type--> Switch to Lookup.

There will be no affect on the data after the convertion but if you have any Apex code that refers the master-detail field, it will stop working if you are not checking not equals to null in your code as future records might not have any value to this field(Look up is not mandatory).
The ownerId of the child records in lookup realtionship will have the id of the owner/created user.

Hope it helped you!
Regards,
Deepthi

hi App Shark,
                 
 Nope! Not in Enterprise edition, but possible on developer edition.
        ​Setup > App Setup > Go To your object > Click "Edit" on Master Detail Field > Click on "Change Field Type" > Select Lookup Relationship > Save it.

Thanks
