No it isn't, but it is possible to redistribute static routes or default routes into ospf, eigrp, rip etc..

Hi,
as already mentioned no you can't do that and this also doesn't make any sense.
What you can also do is changing the AD if needed but thats only locally significant

When you use the word "redistribute", with routing protocols, that generally mean lifting routes carried in one dynamic routing protocol and pushing them into another. As static route are not part of a dynamic routing protocol, they aren't shared with any other device. So, where would OSPF, EIGRP or RIP routes go, if redistributed into static? (This is why the other posters have said no.)
However, static routes and dynamic routes all are pushed into the local device's routing table. So, in a "sort of" sense, dynamic routes (also static routes) are all "redistributed" into the device's route table. Again, this is not generally how "redistributing" routes is "thought of".
BTW, in both cases, when routes are mixed from different sources, there can be conflicts as to which source has the better information. When doing redistribution into dynamic routing protocols, you generally specify how these routes are to be considered against other routes already contained/known to the dynamic routing protocol. As routes, again from different sources, are "redistributed" into the device's route table, again they can be "ranked" to which is considered more important (via AD, administrative distance). By default, static routes generally are considered "better" than dynamic routes.
