Fender Jazz Customization?

I have a Mexican made Fender Jazz Bass and I'm wondering if it is possible to customize a few things. I don't know much regarding customization myself, so I'm looking for a bit of help.

Is it possible to change the neck on my bass to look like that of the Geddy Lee signature jazz bass? The black spaces rather than the dots. I've always liked this but at the time I didn't have money to purchase a more expensive bass.

Secondly, is it possible to get Fender American Jazz pickups or Geddy Lee Signature Bass pickups and install them on my Mexican Fender Jazz bass?. I've played American Jazz basses and the Geddy Lee jazz bass and both of which sound a lot better than my bass and I'm wondering if it is possible to improve the sound.

If these things are possible, does anyone have a possible cost in mind? Thanks!.

Usually I'd be more than helpful. But really, SEARCH FUNCTION.

EDIT: Ok, that came across a bit harsh. Welcome to TB. The search button at the top will get you answers using the right keywords. This subject about Jazz bass mods comes up a lot here in the forums so there should be plenty of resources.
