If Locke is conning the con, he's conning everyone else as well.

Yup....but it's not an 'evil' con, I dont think. So...what does the Man of Fate and Destiny WANT anyway? He says he's "looked into the eye of the Island and it is Beautiful!". He thinks he is especially gifted with an insight to all of this "everybody gets a new life on the island" stuff. He really believes he has the wisdom to get them all to their destinies and will do what is needed to pull it off...and he HAS CONNED others before (Boone, Charlie), thinking it was the right thing to do.
Remember what Sawyer said to his con-gal-pal Cassidy, that the long-con was about getting someone to do something as though it was their own idea...Locke IMO has developped uncanny-good insight into people. He set up Sawyer the con-man via Jack, who in turn set up Charlie....who wanted desperately to make Locke look bad.
In the end, it is Sawyer's plan that will backfire on Charlie and also Sawyer, cause when Kate blabs what she knows Jin et al will put paid to 'em and THEY will be the losers...masterfully out-conned by Locke.
Also, Sawyer will realize Kate is a real security issue for him so she better watch it.
