Can I claim my fiancé daughter as my daughter too?

I’m claiming my fiancé as a dependent on my taxes this year as she did not work in 2017. How do I claim her daughter as a dependent or as my own child?

Then claim both of them as dependent type Another/Other.

Did she live with you all of 2017?  You cannot claim her as your daughter, but might be able to as type "Other" dependent.
