Probably. First off, they would need to be the same sort of interface. Secondly, computer companies often have proprietary enclosures around the hard drives- kind of like a bracket. You can usually swap them if the hard drives have the same interface and are the same physical size.

How do you make a CD rom into a DVD rom?

The simple answer is you can't. A DVD-r is physically different from a CD. You can use it in many ways like a CD, but in the end, it is not a CD, and you will only be able to use it in a DVD drive or player, regardless of what you do to it. They are apples and oranges. Both edible, but not really comparable beyond that.
