Yes, if you really want to. An aspiring convert will be strongly advised against it, but will be welcomed if he or she freely and sincerely insists on making the move. If you really believe in the tenets of Judaism, you may wish to inquire further.
Answer:Conversion is a life-changing and very serious undertaking and a potential convert should think it over carefully. It must not be done on a whim or because of temporary circumstances. One who converts will be expected (from then on) to live as a Jew.The first step would be, without outside help or influence, to get to know about Judaism. The person who felt interested should hang around a Jewish community in order to get a sense of whether Jews and Judaism as it is actually lived appeal to him/her. Also to do some reading.
Nothing. Jews do not seek converts. If a person wishes to convert to Judaism, they are permitted to do so, but Judaism teaches that Judaism should not be proselytized.

That is quite literally between you and God. Conversion to any stream of Judaism requires a period of study under the supervision of a rabbi, and then examination before a beit din, a rabbinical court composed of 3 judges. The decision as to what stream of Judaism to convert under is not necessarily easy. You really need to explore Judaism and find which stream works. Reform Judaism, if taken seriously, is not "Judaism lite" because, ideally, a Reform Jew should fully understand the tradition before deciding what aspects of the tradition to keep and how. The internal divisions within Judaism are, for many potential converts, one of the most difficult parts of the path to conversion.
