Hello, sir, will any variant of the J-10 get conformal fuel tanks? Are they planned to carry them?

No, it is unlikely that J-10 will ever get CFTs. All J-10s can be air-refueled.

likely funding problem,or do conformal fuel tank on J-10 has a negative affect the aircraft performance?

Agreed. CFT is going to cost more money to develop and it will also downgrade the performance, considering J-10 is weak in its engine.
