Is there anyway to extract iso or convert it to zip, rar, or tar file?
I have a big .iso file on my remote server and I just want a file from it, not all of that; unfortunately I do not have root access, so it's my problem.

You are mixing things up: an ISO is a data dump (often from a dvd/cd/bd). You mount ISO's as you would mount a hard disk. And when mounted you can "cd" into the directories and copy files from it.
If you are unsure about command line install software that can mount ISOs. Examples: furius, gmount-iso, acetoneiso, gisomount. All are available in Ubuntu Sofware Center and will show up if you search for "iso mount".
Regarding mounting ISO: How to mount an ISO file? There is a command line method in there too. If you mount it in your own /home/$USER/ folder there is no need for sudo. Example:
mount -o loop file.iso /home/$USER/Downloads/
will mount file.iso in your ~Downloads.

You can can convert an Iso file into a rar, tar or zip or any other compression file format using an online file converter, such as ISO to RAR, ISO to tar , and ISO to Zip.
You can format your file if its size is up to 300MiB.

If you want only to extract a few files from an .iso file, you can just open it using the "Archives" application.

Without root access you'll have to grab the entire file, move it to a box where you have root access, and then mount the iso to pull just a single file out of it.
