Yes, you just take the fuse carrier out and replace it with the mcb, no need to unscrew anything. The cover which goes over the fuses has a centre blank which can be removed.

You can get MCBs with two 'prongs' to fit instead of fuses, to fit 'Wylex' consumer units. (And possibly other makes, you would need to search by name). They should come with a replacement colour-coded terminal shield / cover for the base of the holder - the one for the fuse is deep with a recess, the one for the MCB is almost flat. Make sure you get both parts. See the links for examples.

Yes, just take out the fuse then unscrew the fuse carrier and replace with the mcb. Pull the main switch first if you don't feel comfortable working live.
