No, cd-rom's read cd's only... if you need to view dvd's or get data off of a dvd, you will need a dvd-rom, which can be had for under $25 nowadays...

No you can't .. the technology, hardware and protocol are different between CD & DVD drives.
If you need to use DVD Images use something like "VirtualCD / DVD" from Daemon tools.
Beware of adware / spamware before you download any free software and check the fineprint of the license.

Nope. Buy a cheap DVD ROM for reading DVD's.

Nope, but you can do it the other way round. The question is about the same as asking "Can I go on a date in my dump truck or haul 10 tons of rock in a sports car?" - lack of capability.

No, CD-R/RW drives cannot read DVDs. Combo Drives (CD-R/RW/DVD-R) are very affordable now.
