I have one quick question is it possible to do some hours in USA with a ICAO PPL without converting it ?

Thanks

Not least because there is no such thing as "a(n) ICAO PPL."

The ICAO do not issue Pilots licences, presumably you mean a Swedish PPL ?
This may be possible if you are flying a Swedish registered aircraft but if not, then as is the case with most other countries, you would have to satisfy that countries aviation authority you were sufficiently informed and competent to operate in their airspace by converting your licence or having some other form of validation.

Since everybody here is an expert in semantics, the answer is YES you can fly in the US with a PPL issued by an ICAO member state.

You can fly as much as you like; you can not log it PIC so you will have to take a FAA certified flight instructor aboard.

If you wish to log PIC, here is the link to the FAA website explaining the process to apply for a US license based on your ICAO PPL:
