Hi,

You cannot convert a geometry object into a FeatureClass object.  Instead, you assign certain geometry objects (specifically Points, Polylines, Polygons and MultiPoints) to a Feature object and that Feature object is then added to the FeatureClass object.  Common ways of doing this is either using 1) the CreateFeature and Store methods or b) using insert cursors.  Both ways are discussed and demonstrated in the help document below:
