An example would be Data from Star Trek:The Next Generation; he had curiosity about what it was like to become human, but where did that curiosity come from?

Yes it is possible, and it will eventually be done. Eventually computers will be powerful enough that a human brain simulator could be modeled and emulated in memory.
Also, things like Neural Networks and the current work that MIT has done in the field of artificial intelligence point to an intelligent machine being very possible.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_Intelligence <--- read that.
Also, if you want a fiction novel that's pretty good and related to this question, read Society of the Mind. Pretty cool.

Maybe... but i think that the machines would want to take over and kill us to protect themselves long before they got curious....
maybe if we could get a machine with the curiosity of a cat... then it would get itself killed and we wouldn't have to worry about it.
