Simply studying chimeras and I wanna know if it is possible to mix the two dna types successfully.
Also wanna know if their is a way to modify the genetic data in a virus capsule.

Yes and Yes.
The fish tomato is the prime example of an animals DNA spliced into an plants. Recombinant DNA was of a winter flounder which gave it "anti-freeze" characteristics was inserted into a tomato to create a frost resistant tomato, though the plant has never been commercialized.
And yes you can modify the genetic data of a virus. That is the basic concept behind gene therapy, where the virus' gene is replaced with a functioning human one, and then a person with a non-functioning version of the gene is infected with the virus so they can get the functioning one.
Just search transgenic foods, and gene therapy on Google for more info.
