"My consciense claimed that I was wrong" Is it correcr? I want to say that my conscience 'advised' me I was wrong.

No, claimed does not work here. " In general your conscience would tell you that something was wrong, not that you yourself was wrong since your conscience is part of you. I only mention this because "that I was wrong" seems odd when referring to something your conscience gave you a sense of conviction over.

No, claimed does not work here. Perhaps you can try "told me" or "convinced me" or "dictates."

Yes. But what if one is doing something and at the same time he thinks it's not right? Maybe in this situation his conscience would tell him that he isnt right?
