You can buy something called a "trainer", which attaches to the rear wheel and lifts it off the ground. With that, and a phone book under the front wheel to get the bike level you're all set to use the bike as a stationary bike. There's also a contraption known as "rollers", where the're is a frame with some rollers in. The rear wheel sits on two rollers and the front on a single roller that's powered by a drive belt running from the rear rollers. This gives a bit more road-like feel to the riding, as it requires you to balance your bike just like on the road.
If your bike has a quick release lever on its back tire you can make it a stationary bike. All you need is what is called a "trainer". It is a simple device that you connect to your bike tire and crank the level of resistance up and ride stationary. I have one for my road bike and I use it to warm up before a race.
With great difficulty. You need decent fabricating skills, access to a welder, and a considerable pile of very specific parts to use.
Or you can do a net search for "tricycle conversion kit" and see if you are able to find something that can bolt on. Do note that trikes handle very differently than regular bikes.
They're called trainers, or sometimes rollers.
Yes you can. The contraption to which you fasten your own bike is called a "bicycle trainer". They are available for purchase.

Bicycle riding- even on a stationary bicycle - will offer a good, low impact cardio workout. As long as the boredom doesn't kill you, and as long it does get you decently sweaty and winded, it will be a good exercise. Or at least better than not doing it.
Typically, a stationary exercise bike is used to simulate riding a bicycle. The stationary bike has pedals, and a seat - with many newer models having resistance settings which allow for a more intense workout.
A stationary bicycle is your best option for weight loss and toning. Bicycle settings can be changed to offer increased resistance and thus higher caloric burns. For more options on stationary bicycle options, check this site out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stationary_bicycle

I use a Schwinn Recumbent Bicycle because it is easier on my back
