Yes, It is possible to create Master-Detail Relationship on existing record. First we have to create Look-Up relationship to a record then convert it to master-Detail Relationship.

You cannot create a new Master-Detail relationship on an existing custom object if records already exist. You must first create a Lookup relationship, populate the lookup field with data in all records, and then change the relationship type to Master-Detail. Click here to return to the previous page.

Hi,
You need to create a lookup field then fill this field with some parent value, then convert its type to master detail.
Hope this helps.
