would it be possible to replace it with an ssd?
Yes. Done it already.
Yes, but do not expect huge performance improvements, especially if you run games from a physical format (i.e. Blu-ray disc).
You definitely can. That will give you less heat to deal with, less noise and vibrations... But the speed gain will probably not be that significant as the PS3 is limited to SATA 1 if I recall correctly...
Replacing it with a 7200 RPM HDD would be more worth it on the price/quality ratio, as 2.5" 500 GB HDD are pretty cheap nowadays.
