Do you have a WiFi Only model of iPad, or WiFi+Cellular? Only the WiFi+Cellular models can be directly used with Cellular networks. WiFi Only models have no built-in cellular hardware or capability.

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

That depends.
All iPad versions come in two models. One model supports both WiFI and Cellular access (with an appropriate plan from a cellular provider). The other model supports WiFi only.
If your iPad is the WiFi only model then you have no choice (other than buy a new cellular-capable iPad).
If your iPad is WiFi and Cellular model then you can activate a cellular plan for the iPad and get online. Generally this is best done through your existing provider (assuming you already have cellular phone service) since they usually offer discounted plans for linked accounts.
The easiest way to tell if your iPad supports cellular connections is to check Settings. In the first block of settings (alongside Airplane Mode, WiFi and Bluetooth) there will be a 'Cellular' option if your iPad supports it. If there is no Cellular option, then your iPad does not support cellular connections.
Your iPad is wifi only. You cannot get mobile data directly on your iPad. You will either need a hotspot or a new device with that capability built in.
