Here's a little function that converts a number to an hexadecimal string:

create or replace function to_char_hex (num integer) return varchar2 is   result varchar2(100);
  no integer := num;
  quot integer;
  remaind integer;
  function to_char_hex_digit (num integer) return varchar2 is   begin
    if num < 10 then
      return to_char(num);
    else
      return CHR(ASCII('A') + (num - 10));     end if;
  end;
begin
  if num is null then

     return null;
  end if;
  if num = 0 then

     return '0';
  end if;
  while (no > 0) loop
    quot := trunc(no/16);
    remaind := no MOD 16;
    result := to_char_hex_digit(remaind) || result;     no := quot;
  end loop;
  return result;
end;
/

Then:

v734> select to_char_hex(rownum) from dba_users;

TO_CHAR_HEX(ROWNUM)
