I wanted to know how it was possible to use the numbers of another font. Let me explain.

If I want to use the greek characters of a font that is not the main one, I can make a fontfallback for example, like:

\definefallbackfamily [mainface] [serif] [Font Name] [range={greekandcoptic,greekextended}]

What is the equivalent of having all numbers 0123456789 (from U+0030 - U-0039) taken from another font other than the non-primary one?

In other words, how do you go about using Comic Sans numbers (all kind of, footnotes, pagenumbers etc.) when the main text uses Garamond?

To get the digits from a fallback font you can use digitsnormal as argument for the range key but you have to add force=yes.

\definefallbackfamily [garamaond_sans] [rm] [Comic Sans MS]
  [range=digitsnormal,
   force=yes,
   rscale=0.85]

\definefontfamily [garamaond_sans] [rm] [EB Garamond]

\setupbodyfont [garamaond_sans]

\starttext

\starttabulate
\dostepwiserecurse
  {0}{9}{1}
  {\expanded{\NC \convertnumber{Word}{\recurselevel} \NC \recurselevel \NC\NR}}
\stoptabulate

\stoptext
