The speed of light is a limit so, as the speed of the object approaches the speed of light, rather energy than energy being converted into kinetic energy (that would increase its speed), it is instead converted into mass. The relationship between force, mass and acceleration is given by F = ma. Thus, to reach the speed of light (i.e. keep the object accelerating), you would need an infinitely large force, not possible.
there are no end to the possibilities if it is given the right amount of research. There are forces that are infinitely powerful in the universe and would allow for the conversions of kinetic energy and mass, along with the dialations to be controlled in the correct manner. There are instances where the speed of light are exceeded if only briefly, it is rare, and does not happen often, but it has happened in the past.

As for the conversion into mass as the speed of light is approached, the fuel would allow for the continued speed increase which would allow further approach to the speed of light. Dark matter and special nuclear fuels with comparable properties would allow for such encroaching. As the expansion of mass would require a more massive fuel force, the possible remedy could be fuel reserves that would be used once a limit that is allowed by the current fuel. The reserves would allow for further advancement.

Nothing is impossible Alex, you know that.
