No a 3g phone cannot be modified to run on 4g. The reason it cannot be modified is that the 3g runs on a different operating program than the 4g does.

What is the difference between 3G and 4G mobile phones?

3G is the current generation of mobile telecommunication standards. It allows simultaneous use of speech and data services and offers data rates of up to 14 Mbps downlink and 5 Mbps uplink. 4G is the fourth and the next generation of mobile telecommunication standards. Its infrastructure will be only packet-based (all-IP). 4G will probably combine 3G, GSM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and VoIP.

4g is about 20 gigs-ish plus what a 3g offers. Though 4g itself is actually not in existance.

And the iPhone4 isn't actually 4g coverage, it's just referred to AS an iPhone 4, cause it's the fourth edition iPhone.
