You can get the RectTrasform with two ways.

var rectTransform = transform as RectTransform;

or

var rectTransform = GetComponent<RectTransform>();

and yes, you need to add a script to achieve your goal.

I’m not sure what the exact question is. However if you’re asking “how” to make a gameobject to actually have a rect transform, the gameobject usually has to be a child of a Canvas. Only UI components will have / need a rect transform.

However you can use AddComponent<RectTransform>() to replace the regular Transform component with a RectTransform. Note AFAIK there is no a way to do the opposite through code. You can remove a RectTransform in the editor through the context menu of the component. Though through code it seems it’s not possible to remove it.
