As we know that NumLock key causes the Numpad to act differently on basis of its on/off status. I want to ask that can we make keys other than Numpad to do other events on NumLock basis? For example, when NumLock is Off the arrow key act as same arrow key but when NumLock is On the arrow key acts like Enter Key. Is there any software or some registry editing to do this?

You could do this with AutoHotkey.

Do you have any coding experience? If not, what I'm about to say might not make much sense.

 

Just set up a Boolean and change its true/false statement once you click the numlock key. 

Than make a piece of script that capture the inputs you want to change (in this case the arrow keys) and make it check the Boolean. Based upon that true/false statement you can make it so something else (e.g. make up arrow trigger the enter key if numlock is pressed).
