No and no.

Most of the world (and the iPhone) uses the GSM system. GSM is the technology used by T-mobile and AT&T in the USA.

Verizon (and Sprint) use CDMA. This is a totally different system, and the innards of the phone are completely incompatible.

There is no "hack", trick or software enhancement that can turn a GSM device into a CDMA device.

Of course this isn’t what you want to hear, and I can fully understand that you really really want an iPhone on Verizon. But the only solution is to forget about it, or switch to AT&T.
