not clear what do you want?
to replace circle with closed polygonal curve?

To explode to small lines or like you mentioned.

according to acad vba help there is no circle explode method
instead, you need to create polygon
find center, find radius, find number of sides, calculate central segment angle [2*pi/n], using sin() and cos() functions calculate each vertex and finaly insert line between each two vertices
additionaly, yiu may create point array, then polyline from that array, and then explode polyline. this may be faster method since rely more on acad's built in engine

This.

You pretty much need to draw an approximated polygon yourself.

Why not create an inscribed polygon with the number of segments you want, and explode that? (also delete the original circle).
