There are problems with this as the conditional formatting overrides any locally applied formatting so the macro would need to exclude that cell from the conditional formatting - not easy and not advisable. Conditional formats can get confused enough without any help.
I would suggest you have a column called Status which has either "Uncompleted" or "Completed" you could usefully limit it to these with a validation dropdown. You could include other statuses such as "Working", "Not Started" if you wanted to. Lets call this Column Z Now: in the cell where the conditional formatting is you include, as your first condition =Z1="Completed" and a format of No fill and Strikethrough.
