You can't modify FullPaint, but you can fix the MacPaint pictures so 
that they will launch FullPaint.  What you need is a utility like MacTools
(which comes with Copy II Mac) which will allow you to change the creator
of a file.  First, look at FullPaint and find out what its 4 character
file type is (or somebody on this forum may know ...).  Then modify the
creator of your MacPaint files to that file type.  Then, double-clicking
on the MacPaint pictures will launch FullPaint.   

Once MacPaint pictures have been opened with FullPaint, by the way, you
can save them as FullPaint files (with the Save option from the File
menu).  From then on they will be completely FullPaint files and will have
forgotten that they were once MacPaint files.  That's just about as easy
as changing their creator.
