Formatting data on a CD usually refers to removing all information previously created on said CD. You sometimes format CD-RW before and after burning to assure a successful burn.
You cannot change the data format once it has been written to the CD. You will need to write another CD with the data in music format to play in a CD player.
You can't format a CD-R, the data is irreversibly etched onto it.
any cd can hold video data but it will not be in DVD format, it will be in VCD, MPEG, AVI etc. DVD format, which is VOD, has large file sizes.

MP3 format data can be stored on a CD and played back on any MP3 compatible CD player.

No. The CD File System is planned beforehand, then burned with the data all at once.
Re-writable CD's Some CD burners and writable media will let you write several times and not "finalize" so you can write more data to the CD/DVD later. You might loose access to all the previous writing efforts so check the instructions carefully.
To play in most CD players, the CD itself must have a specific format. In general, you can't burn individual files onto a data CD and expect it to work, regardless of what format the files themselves are in. Most CD burning programs offer "audio CD" as an option and will do whatever conversion is required for you.Some CD players can play MP3 files from a data CD. This allows you to fit a lot more music onto the disc, but not all CD players can read data CDs. Check your instruction manual to be sure (also, those that can usually say "MP3" somewhere on the player itself).
