How would you simulate a day scene while filming in night in a small room with one small window using tungsten/halogen lamps with colour temperature of about 3000~3200 K?
Thanks

What grip and lighting equipment do you have access to?
Is the window in the shot? Is the room on the ground floor? Can you get grip equipment and lights to the window(if in shot)?
Do you imagine the sun hitting the window?
What time of day is it in the script? What time of year?
The camera does not know whether it is night or day, you have to give it a good white balance.
You can do a white balance that is warmer so that the tungsten lights will look a little bluer.
Bounce the lights from the direction of the window (if you establish the window) so that you create ambient light.
Put some white material on the floor if you do not see the floor.
Lighting a room for daylight is less contrasting and less directional than lighting for night with practicals in shot. In day time a room has a lot of ambient light, less sourcy.
