Soul Exchange:Select an opponent's monster and use it as tribute in place of one of your own. You must skip your battle phase for the turn in which this card is activated.

Metamorphosis: Offer 1 monster on your side of the field as a tribute to special summon 1 fusion monster of the same level in face-up attack or defense position from your fusion deck. Monsters used for a tribute summon or that are offered as tributes due to other card's effects are excluded.

Player A has one non-effect monster.
Player B activates Soul Exchange.
Player B then activates Metamorphosis on Player A's Monster to summon a non-effect fusion monster.

Is this legal?

Sure. Soul Exchange works with tribute normal summons, ritual summons, all summons requiring tributes, except fusion summon, because fusion monsters are send to the graveyard, not tributed.

it can also be used to do this:

activate soul exchange, targetting their exiled force. Then offer the exiled force for its effect, which is under your control :D

Unfortunately this is not possible.

While you definately can use the monster targeted as a tribute replacement, you cannot activate an effect that is on the opponent's side of the field, because you do not control it. In the same respect you could not do this with an opponent's Cannon Soldier either.

Soul Exchange is a replacement effect, in which you can replace tributing your own monster for the targeted opponent's. It does not however, give you control of the targeted monster, so you cannot activate an effect written on it.

well the reason i said that was because somewhere i saw that if you used soul exchange on your opponent's paladin of the white dragon, you get to special summon a blue-eeys, i presume the ruling on it has been changed

That might actually be in the event you both controlled Paladin of White Dragon you could use Soul Exchange to tribute the opponent's PoWD instead of yours, but you still must control a PoWD on your side of the field in order to do that.

I assume the same could be said for Exiled Force.

EDIT: I actually found an old ruling that stated this, i couldn't find anything newer.

Can I use Soul Exchange to offer an opponent's monster as tribute to
special summon a Blue Eyes White Dragon from my hand or deck instead
of my face-up Paladin of White Dragon?

Answer:

No you cannot. You must offer your "Paladin of White Dragon" you control as the
Tribute for its effect.

This is off topic, but i figured i'd just finish it off for you.

Creature Swap is worth looking at too. Take an opponents monster and let them take your tomato or angel. Smash it and get another monster back on your side of the field. If an opponent plays scapegoats. Creature swap a goat and metamorphosis it for thousand eyes restrict. Lots of combos.

well I have been using GK so no tomatos since half of my GKs I would rather have in defense... ESPECIALLY if I don't have Necrovalley on the field.
