There is an effect that converts any object into an ellipse of your chosen size. Select your objects and then choose Effect > Convert to Shape > Ellipse.... You'll want to select the Absolute radio button and then key in height and width of equal measurement in order to create exact circles.

This is the result when used on a variety of shapes:
