Question 1- Is it possible to connect a blu-ray player to my laptop and broadband WiFi internet card, in order to collect the updates and needed information to keep the player up to date?

Question 2- Is it possible to 'trick' the blu-ray player into thinking it has an internet connection by plugging my broadband card into the usb slot on the player, IF the player has built in WiFi ability?

Answer
The capabilties of a player relate directly to the abilities of the hardware and firmware. Even if the hardware supported a connection you would have to reverse engineer and change the firmware.

Most external connections on a player are to update this said firmware. Be it Serial, USB or Firewire etc.
