you can use pattern layout converter https://devstuffs.wordpress.com/2012/01/12/creating-your-own-pattern-layout-converter-for-log4net/

In the convert function you get the log level and then you can provide pattern depends on the level.

You can only do one conversion pattern per appender. However Appenders can have level filters. You could create a different appender for each conversion pattern and then apply the appropriate filter. For example:

<appender>
  <filter type="log4net.Filter.LevelMatchFilter">
    <levelToMatch value="ERROR"/>
  </filter>
</appender>

This log4net Tutorial has all the details.

I'm pretty sure its not possible to assign a different conversion pattern on an appender per log level.

You could create multiple appenders with differing thresholds and setup different conversion patterns per appender. This still wont get you 100% of what you're after however.
