It is not possible to change or modify the internal hardware components of an iPad.

A WiFi Only iPad cannot be transformed into a WiFi+Cellular model. You can, however, use the hotspot feature of a mobile phone - or a Cellular Broadband Router (often known as a MiFi Router) - to access Cellular networks.
