you can't exchange all of the DNA between plant and animal cells. It would be technically difficult and end up with a lethal result.
However, you can exchange or move one or two genes from one to the other. Remember, plants and animals share quite a few genes already (humans and plants share between 25-50% of their genes). Moving a single gene from one to the other would most often cause nothing, but it's hard to predict because there are so many possibilities.
One thing is for sure, you would never end up with green pigs or corn that walks around. Those changes are much to drastic to be caused by single (or even several) genes.

Recently there was a news story about pigs with glowing noses and feet from jelly fish genes added. I think it was done in China.
