No, you won't. Though, you can certainly try it. Make sure the motor wiring can handle the current, else you'll get a smoking fan.

any tips on how to splice and wire
to splice a fan into usb powered needs red and black wire to red and black on fan and a Usb cable so would it work the same way with adapters

i'd like to know the colour codings [+v, Ground, etc.]
on both the USB [ Yellow, Blue, Red, Brown] and my fan that has 3pin [Black, Red, White]

Colors are irrelevant. Manufacturers can choose whatever colors they want to coat their wires. If you want to establish what a wire does, stick a multimeter on it.
