Is it legally and programmatically possible to upload a free app to the AppStore, and after a while to change it to subscription model, so the main feature will be locked for non-subscribers?
tnx.

You can have an app that is free and then later on add an in-app purchase (e.g) such as a subscription. Note, that an in-app purchase cannot be free so you cannot start with a free in-app purchase and then just increase the price.
Note that the original downloaders of the app who haven’t upgraded will still get the main feature for free unless you code the app in advance (from the start) to change behaviour when you add the in-app subscription.
